Bengaluru: BJP leader CT Ravi has reacted on Twitter to comments made by former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Veer Savarkar. On Friday, Siddaramaiah dubbed Veer Savarkar as a conspirator for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi and asked how he could give Bharat Ratna to Gandhi's killer.

Ravi on Saturday questioned Siddaramaiah whether he was 'mentally challenged' or he did not know about history. Ravi said that Veer Savarkar was a nationalist. Taking a dig at Siddaramaiah, he wrote that you have accused the nationalist Veer Savarkar of conspiring in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Have you become mentally challenged after losing the chief minister's post? Are you not aware of history? Why don't you go to the Cellular Jail, I will sponsor your visit.

After this, Siddaramaiah hits back at CT Ravi, saying that when no one is in power, he drives drunk and kills innocent people. He was referring to a road accident in CT Ravi's car earlier this year. In another tweet, Siddaramaiah has said that if Bharat, someone who conspired to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi, is given the Bharat Ratna, he should at least be given the Rajyotsava Award, which would have killed innocent people while driving drunk.
