The Story in Brief
Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of former chief minister Siddaramaiah, was appointed Leader of the House in the Karnataka Legislative Council on Thursday as the Monsoon Session began. Pro-tem Chairman Puttanna made the announcement. Yathindra, who is currently a MLC and urban development minister, acknowledged his limited experience and sought cooperation from ruling and opposition members. Congress members welcomed the appointment with desk-thumping.
Before the Assembly session, chief minister D.K. Shivakumar and deputy CM G. Parameshwara exchanged congratulations. The Assembly also condoled the deaths of former legislators, including BJP veteran Ramachandra Gowda, and singers S. Janaki and Asha Bhosle. Opposition leader B.Y. Vijayendra praised Gowda's administrative efficiency and recalled his recognition by former President V.V. Giri.
The Indian Opinion
The inevitable charge of dynastic politics will trail Yathindra Siddaramaiah's elevation, but he was already a Varuna MLA and is now a legislator in his own right. His request for guidance from both sides signals humility, not incapacity. The real test is not his surname but whether he can steer business smoothly in a Council where the ruling Congress lacks a majority. That will be the measure of his leadership.
