Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah clarified his son Yathindra's remarks about the 77-year-old being in the final phase of his political career and that Satish Jarkiholi should become the next CM. "What can I do if his statement is twisted?" he asked. Siddaramaiah added, "Yathindra told me he only referred to Jarkiholi as an ideological successor, not as the next CM."
