Chitradurga, Sept 25: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has hit back at the leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, K S Eshwarappa for the latter’s “Dasaiahs” remark.

Eshwarappa, while speaking to reporters at Shivamogga on Saturday had said that the chief minister was seeking votes like a “Dasaiah.” The word refers to a person who collects alms from people.

“Politicians are always like Dasaiah as they seek votes from people. Eshwarappa does not know this. He has no common sense and hence he is making foolish statements,” Siddaramaiah said on Sunday.

He was speaking to reporters at Sirigere near Chitradurga. He was in Sirigere to take part in the 25th death anniversary of Taralabalu Shivakumara Swami.

Replying to a question on the participation of ministers in the convention for a separate Lingayat religion, the chief minister said that his Cabinet colleagues were acting in their individual capacity. “Taking part in such convention is left to their discretion. I will not prevent them from that,” he said.
