Mysore(Karnataka): In a first in the Siddaramaiah family, Smitha Rakesh, the wife of the late Rakesh Siddaramaiah, campaigned for her father-in-law in the villages of the Varuna Assembly constituency on Thursday. Earlier, his elder son Rakesh Siddaramaiah was looking after the constituencies of Varuna and Chamundeshwari on behalf of his father.
So far Siddaramaiah's wife and daughter-in-law were not involved in the election campaign. For the first time, Rakesh Siddaramaiah's wife Smita Rakesh, on behalf of her father-in-law, started campaigning in the villages of Varuna constituency and appealed to the voters to vote for the Congress. Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah, while addressing a public meeting after filing his nomination papers, declared that his grandson Dhawan Rakesh will enter politics.
Siddaramaiah had earlier said that he became the Chief Minister when he won from Varuna so there is no such thing as one constituency being lucky or the other unlucky. He has no faith in this. His hometown comes under the Varuna constituency. It is called Varuna constituency due to the presence of Varuna Hobli. Since this is his last election and he wants to fight his last election in his hometown.
