Siddu compares JDS workers to prostitute

Bengaluru: The political war between JD(S) and Congress gained momentum after Congress Legislature Party Leader Siddaramaiah compared JD(S) workers to prostitutes.

A month after the collapse of the HD Kumaraswamy-led coalition government in Karnataka, a political slugfest has again erupted between JD(S) and Congress after a reporter asked Siddaramaiah’s reaction to JDS workers blaming him for the collapse.

Reacting to the question asked by a reporter Siddaramaiah, “A prostitute who can’t dance says the floor isn’t right to dance.”

Following Siddaramaiah BJP leader said, “It is is the usual habit of Siddramaiah to speak in such derogatory manner.”

It may be recalled that on August 23 Siddramaiah holding former prime minister HD Deve Gowda and his sons Kumaraswamy and H D Revanna (former Minister) squarely responsible for the coalition government’s fall last month, challenged them to show at least one instance of his “interference” in governance.

“Deve Gowda has made some allegations against me, they are all baseless, politically motivated and false,” Siddaramaiah had told reporters.

Gowda in the last couple of days has repeatedly blamed Siddaramaiah for the fall of the coalition government.
