"YOU VOTE FOR MODI, WANT ME TO GET YOUR WORKS DONE!" CM LOSES COOL OVER PROTESTERS

Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy lost his temper with a group of protesters in Raichur district today. He was heckled and snapped back angrily, appearing to say he would not help them because they voted for Prime Minister Narendra Modi in last month's election.

"You vote for Narendra Modi but want me to get your work done," this is what Kumaraswamy said to employees of Raichur’s Yermarus Thermal Power Station (YTPS) blocked his convoy to submit a list of grievances.

According to Indian Express report, Kumaraswamy, was in the district to attend the ‘Grama Vastavya’ (village stay) program, shouted at the workers who had approached him.

"You voted for Narendra Modi and want me to get your works done! You want me to give you respect. Should I baton-charge you? Leave the place,” PTI quoted Kumaraswamy as saying. However, Kumaraswamy later told a TV channel that he had sought 15 days time to address the grievances of the workers but despite his assurance, they blocked the road, which made him angry.

Media reports further state that, the JD(S) leader questioned if anyone would accept had a similar incident happened with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy. “This government is tolerant, but it is not incapable and knows how to deal with situations,” he said.

This is the second stay of Kumaraswamy under the ‘Grama Vastavya’ program. The first was in Chandaraki village in Yadgiri district.
