Yathindra Defends Comparison of Father’s Work, Denies Disrespect
Yathindra Siddaramaiah, the son of Karnataka's Chief Minister, is in a bit of hot water.
He made a statement comparing his father's work to a respected king's work, and some people got upset.
Yathindra says he didn't mean any disrespect and that his words were misunderstood.
He believes his father's government has given a lot of money to the city of Mysuru, maybe even more than the king did in the past.
People from the opposition parties don't agree and are asking him to say sorry.
The current royal family member doesn't want to comment, but it seems like many people are unhappy.
Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of the Karnataka CM, defended his statement comparing his father's contributions to Mysuru with those of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar.
Yathindra claimed his statement was misinterpreted and that he did not intend to belittle the Wadiyar king's work.
He stated that the Congress government, led by his father, has given more grants to Mysuru than any other Chief Minister after Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar.
The opposition BJP and JD(S) criticized Yathindra's initial statement.
Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, the scion of the royal family, stated he will not comment further.
