Summary: A special report on the political controversy roiling Karnataka, involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his son, MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah. CM Siddaramaiah on Friday dismissed reports of his son naming a successor, stating, ‘I spoke to him (Yathindra) and asked what exactly he had said. He told me he spoke only about principles and did not say that so-and-so should become chief minister’. The controversy erupted after Yathindra's comment that his father was at the 'fag end of his political life' and that a leader like PWD minister Satish Jarkiholi was needed to lead those with progressive thinking. This remark has fuelled speculation about a potential leadership change in the state Congress government, with Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar also seen as a contender. Siddaramaiah, however, has maintained his son's statement was 'twisted' and that he intends to complete his full five-year term.
