Responding to queries on the pressure in the party for making his son Yathindra an MLC, the Chief Minister said the high command had earlier said that Dr. Yathindra would be made the MLC.
“I don’t know what decision the high command will take. Dr. Yathindra was asked to vacate the seat for me during the Assembly polls. I was planning to contest from Kolar, but I was asked to contest from Varuna, which was represented by Dr. Yathindra. At that time, the high command had told him that his son would be made MLC,” he replied.
Criticising former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy for demanding the interrogation of Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar in the Prajwal Revanna case, Mr. Siddaramaiah accused the Janata Dal (S) leader of trying to weaken the case by blaming Mr. Shivakumar and others and diluting the issue.
“The country’s law has to be respected. Mr. Kumaraswamy had said that his nephew was an accused not guilty. I have also said that the Hassan MP is an accused,” he said.
Replying to questions on his letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for cancelling the diplomatic passport of Prajwal Revanna, Mr. Siddaramaiah said there was so far no reply from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
