The younger son of chief minister Siddaramaiah, 38-year-old Yathindra is making his poll debut in the 2018 elections. Seen as a reluctant politician, the quiet, introvert Yathindra is a pathologist by profession. He had chosen to stay away from politics till the untimely death of his older brother in 2016 .
Yathindra will be contesting from Varuna in Mysuru, a seat his father Siddaramaiah has won in the last two elections with big margins. The constituency was being pitched as the ‘battle of first sons’ when Yeddyurappa’s second son, BY Vijayendra, started campaigning there, but the BJP eventually chose to field its media coordinator Thothadappa Basavaraju from the seat.
