Bajpe: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah has struck back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement at Kalburgi calling Kumaraswamy a remote-controlled chief minister.

Speaking to the media at Mangaluru International Airport Siddaramaiah said, “So who is the remote control for Modi? Can there be a remote in democracy? Let him speak politics, but he should speak unrelated things. Should I tell who is remote-controlling the prime minister of the country? Its RSS,” he answered.

Congress MLA Umesh Jadhav has given his resignation. But the speaker has not given his approval. We have given a complaint against four persons including Jadhav. It is being investigated. It will be a crime to join the BJP conference now. If the resignation is not approved how will take part in the BJP conference? Hence, if necessary we will think about a case on Jadhav,” he informed.

Tilak comment

Siddu said, “Tilak should be small. When I see a big tilak I get scared. I do not keep tilak. Does that mean I am not a Hindu? Those who wear long naams are from BJP. Tilak must be put small,” explained the former CM regarding the tilak.
