Union Minister of State Mahesh Sharma launched an attack on former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for allegedly misbehaving with a woman. He slammed him the behaviour of the Congress leader shows the double standard of the party.

Sharma said that congress calls themselves protectors of women rights and dignity while their leaders misbehave with the woman . He said “It is one of the double-standards of the party. On one hand, they call themselves protectors of women rights and dignity while their leaders misbehave with women. Similarly, the party only talk of weeding corruption while it is the icon of corruption. State Union Minister claimed that the Congress has a history of dominating its partners and prioritising its own interest rather than that of the coalition.

Sharma also took the dig on the congres President Rahul gandhi. He said “Sometimes he (Rahul) hugs Prime Minister in Parliament, while on the other time he blinks his eyes. Rahul Gandhi is considered as a joker politician.”

On Monday, Siddaramaiah was caught on camera losing his cool while interacting with a woman in Mysuru earlier. In a clip, Siddaramaiah could be seen furiously snatching away the mike from the woman`s hand and in the process, her `dupatta` also dropped. However, the woman with whom Siddaramaiah was caught misbehaving downplayed the entire episode, saying that she had no complaint against the Congress leader. Siddaramaiah also clarified that the incident was nothing but an accident is like a sister to Siddaramaiah.
