Hassan: CM Kumaraswamy’s brother, Minister H D Revanna has drawn flak for throwing biscuits to flood affected people in a relief camp at Arkalgud taluk, Hassan district, on Monday.

A video clipping of H D Revanna throwing biscuit packets to the inmates went viral on social media. 

CITU leader Dharmesh said if the minister could not distribute the biscuits, he could have told the officials or the party workers to distribute it. By throwing the packets, he has insulted those who have sought refuge, he said. 

Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy said Revanna’s act was not out of arrogance and should not be taken otherwise. “While distributing the biscuits, there were large number of people there and there was no place for movement. However, he could have avoid throwing the biscuits,” he told reporters. The State BJP has condemned Revanna’s act.
