Siddaramaiah draws flak from JD(S), BJP over objectionable remark

Bengaluru: After senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah’s remark received a backlash from BJP and the party’s estranged ally JD(S), where he compared the party with a prostitute, he issued a saying he was referring to the BJP.

The remark has triggered a fresh row between the two parties, barely days after they blamed each other for the drubbing in the recent national election.

"I was referring to the BJP. It is a very common proverb in the rural areas around Mysuru. Those who cannot run the government call the floor uneven," he was quoted by news agency PTI as saying.
