Siddaramaiah is seen snatching a mic from the woman which results in her dupatta coming down.
Senior Congress leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah lost his cool while interacting with a woman on Monday. A video of the incident has gone viral.
In it, Siddaramaiah is seen snatching a mic from the woman which results in her dupatta falling down.
The Congress leader was furious with something that the woman had said and did not even seem to realise what just happened. Siddaramaiah then asked her to shut up and sit down.
The incident took place in Mysuru.
The woman in question was complaining about the lack of developmental work in the constituency. Angry over her questions, the honourable former chief minister leaped forward to pull the mic from her hand.
The news of Siddaramaiah misbehaving with the woman comes just two hours after Siddaramaiah preached Union minister Ananth Kumar Hegde about public decency.
In a tweet, Siddaramaiah said: “Ananth Kumar Hegde is not fit to be an MP. He should apologise and resign immediately for his insensitive comments towards @dineshgrao and also for his provocative statements aimed at creating social conflicts.”
The Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was quick to slam Siddaramaiah for his act. The BJP called him a modern day Dushashan (brother of the Kuravaa king Duryodhan who outrgaed the modesty of Draaupadi in Mahabharat). The BJP said the present JDS-Congress governmnet in Karnataka is no different from the rule of the evil Kauravas in Mahabharat.
“He is Siddaramaiah threatening and abusing a women openly. Demon Dushashana is finally reborn and (has) resumed power in the governmnet of Karnataka,” the Karnataka BJP said in a tweet.
“This is how Congress-JDS treats women,” the BJP said.
On the other hand, the Congress has justified Siddaramaiah’s action. Congress leader Dinesh Gundu Rao told news agency media that at times people start behaving in a rough manner while asking question and you want to pull the mic from them.
