Kudalasangama: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that if Karwar MP Ananthakumar Hegde used obscene words for the state’s Chief Minister for political reasons, the language reflects his culture.

He spoke to the media before leaving for the programme at Kudalasangama helipad on Saturday.

Reacting to Karwar MP Anantakumar Hegde’s allegation using unparliamentary words that the Chief Minister is not attending to the Ayodhya event despite being invited, such statements reflect his culture. A better culture cannot be expected from Ananth Kumar Hegde who, when he was a Union minister, had said that he would change the constitution itself. Their language is not cultured. He said that this language would damage his dignity.
