Karwar MPs’ language reflects his culture: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah

Kudalasangama: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that if Karwar MP Ananthakumar Hegde used obscene words for the Chief Minister of the state for political reasons, the language reflects his culture.

He was speaking to the media before leaving for the programmme at Kudalasangama helipad today.

Reacting to Karwar MP Anantakumar Hegde’s allegation using unparliamentary words that the Chief Minister is not attending to the Ayodhya event despite being invited, such statements reflect his culture. A better culture cannot be expected from Ananth Kumar Hegde who, when he was a Union minister, had said that he would change the constitution itself. Their language is not cultured. The said that this language will damage his dignity.
