Mysuru: The presence of master strategist and BJP President Amit Shah in Mysuru and a series of rallies by JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy in Nagamangala and other constituencies, has forced Chief Minister Siddharamaiah to rethink and rework on Congress strategies for the upcoming Assembly elections.
In the wake of threats of wresting power by the BJP and the JD(S), the CM wants to retain base in Old Mysuru region. The region, especially Chamundeshwari (where he is planning to contest) and Varuna (where he is likely to field his son Dr. Yathindra) is crucial for Siddharamaiah as it is his hometown. While a victory in Chamundeshwari and Varuna will assure him of another term as CM with his son as an MLA, an electoral loss will put a question mark on the political careers of both father and son.
