Bengaluru: Karnataka Energy Minister DK Shivakumar raged out against groups who threatened against Deepika and Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali over movie Padmavati release.
Shivakumar took to Twitter to express his outrage on BJP party member from Haryana, Surajpal Amu, reportedly announcing reward of ten crore rupees to anyone chopping off Deepika and Bhansali’s head.
It is condemnable that a BJP office bearer is placing a bounty of Rs. 10 crore on @deepikapadukone, who is from our state & the daughter of one of India’s most respected sportsman.
Is this BJP’s culture & the way they show respect towards women? Immediate action should be taken.

CM Siddaramaiah reverted back in support to the tweets saying Karnataka stands with globally renowned artist from our state Deepika Padukone.
CM also asked the CM of Haryana to take strict action against the wrongdoers.
I condemn the culture of intolerance & hate perpetuated by @BJP4India .
Karnataka stands with @deepikapadukone .She is a globally renowned artist from our state.
I call upon the CM of Haryana @mlkhattar to take strict action against those holding out threats against her. https://t.co/d8rahml5MZ
