The disqualified MLA insinuated this after the announcement of bye-elections on October 21.
MTB Nagaraj, the disqualified MLA from Hosakote, made a controversial statement on Sunday targeting Hebbal legislator Byrati Suresh. Nagaraj claimed that Suresh was responsible for the death of the son of former Chief Minister of Karnataka and Congress stalwart Siddaramaiah. According to reports, Nagaraj claimed that Byrati Suresh encouraged the ‘bad habits’ of Siddaramaiah’s son Rakesh Siddaramaiah which led to his death. “He (Suresh) is a bacha in politics. Suresh is the prime reason behind Siddaramaiah’s son’s demise. He was the one who spoilt Rakesh. Siddaramaiah’s son would have lived for years had he not gotten mixed up in the wrong company of Suresh,” said Nagaraj speaking to the media. The controversial allegations come after speculations arose that Byrati’s Suresh’s wife Padmavati, would be contesting for the Congress in the upcoming elections from the Hosakote seat. Last week, it was announced that bye-elections are scheduled to be held in Karnataka on October 21. Rakesh Siddaramaiah died in July 2016 at the age of 39, after suffering from multi-organ failure at a hospital in Belgaum. He was said to be a close friend of Byrati Suresh. Suresh has responded to the allegations by stating that Rakesh was like a brother to him and that Nagaraj merely feared losing his deposit if the former’s wife did contest from Hosakote. A total of 15 seats will go to the polls on October 21 and votes will be counted on October 24. The last date to complete the elections is October 27, while the last date to file nominations is September 30. Gokak, Athani, Ranebennur, Kagwad, Hirekerur, Yellapur, Yeshwanthpura, Vijayanagara, Shivajinagar, Hosakote, Hunsur, Krishnarajpet, Mahalakshmi Layout, KR Puram and Chikballapura are the constituencies which will be going to the polls on October 21. As many as 17 rebel MLAs were disqualified until the end of the current Assembly term (in 2023) by former Karnataka Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar.
