The Karnataka state BJP unit responded to the CM’s statement on Twitter saying that Kumaraswamy is the only politician in the history of the nation who asked his supporters to go on riots and called him a “disgrace” to the state.
Kumaraswamy is probably the only politician in history of this nation who openly asked his supporters to go on riots in the state of Karnataka. Such politicians are a disgrace to this state & threat to national security. @CPBlr should register suo Moto case on Kumaraswamy & act.
