Father-son party: Gowda announces son as president of JDS Karnataka unit

Gowda, who has come under constant attack over his family maintaining a stranglehold over JDS, defended the appointment of Kumaraswamy, a former chief minister who is under pressure in recent weeks to play a more active role.
It was a ‘big tragedy’ that JDS was being labelled ‘father-son party’ in Karnataka, Gowda said.
‘Aren’t father and their children in the same party in other states?, the JDS chief asked.’ If Mamata Banerjee (West Bengal chief minister) and Mayawati (BSP leader) had children, what would they have done?, he said, hitting back at the detractors who accuse him of promoting dynastic politics.
