The incident took place in Mandya when the Congress MLA was visiting former Minister and politician G.Madegowda, who is said to be unwell for the last few days.
However, when the minister realized that Media was also present, he urged them to delete the video as he lost his temper as no covid norms were followed at the moment.
Karnataka BJP rebukes Shivakumar’s behaviour
Karnataka BJP reacted to the viral video soon enough. “The high-handed behavior of DK Shivakumar towards his own karyakarta is highly deplorable. He is unable to shed his previous image. He is repeatedly indulging in arrogant behavior even towards his own cadre. The party is being headed by a person who does not have basic decency in public life.” said BJP Spokesperson S Prakash.
