Karnataka Doctor Contesting Elections

This doctor-turned-scribe from Karnataka has a different hobby--contesting elections against political bigwigs. However, he is disappointed that he could contest the Lok Sabha elections against Rahul Gandhi in Amethi but not against PM Modi in Varanasi

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah -- whose decision to contest from Chamundeshwari seat is seen by many as a risky move -- today said he still has an "option", rekindling hopes of supporters that he may yet contest from a second seat. The Chief Minister's safe seat Varuna is going to his son Yathindra, a doctor making his debut in politics.

In vying for the top contests of the Karnataka election, the constituency of Varuna in Mysuru is fertile ground. It's where voters may be asked to choose between the sons of the two main chief ministerial candidates, BS Yeddyurappa of the BJP and Siddaramaiah of the Congress.
