Bengaluru, May 6: Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday hit out the BJP and said its leaders should declare themselves “pagal ” (mad) instead of “ chowkidar ” (watchman) in the interest of the public.

Fearing electoral defeat, BJP leaders, right from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to K.S. Eshwarappa, have let their tongue loose, Mr. Siddaramaiah tweeted.

His tweet came a day after Mr. Eshwarappa made a heinous comment against Mr. Siddaramaiah. “The frustration of being on the verge of defeat is visible in everyone from Narendra Modi to Eshwarappa. For the interest of the public, it is better that BJP leaders claim themselves to be pagal instead of chowkidar ,” the Congress leader said.

Addressing a gathering in Dharwad’s Kundagol during a BJP rally on Saunday, Mr. Eshwarappa had asked, “What if Siddaramaiah’s granddaughter was raped?”

Taking to Twitter on Monday, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Dinesh Gundu Rao said, “By asking ‘What if @siddaramaiah’s grand daughter was raped,’ @BJP4Karnataka leader K.S. Eshwarappa has revealed his inhuman side. Only a person who has lost his mental balance would make such a reference to a school-going kid. He should be locked up permanently. @PMOIndia.”

Bengaluru, Jun 24: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah criticised the current state government rates for COVID-19 treatment in private hospitals and said that the patients must be treated free of charge in all hospitals.

"The state government has fixed rates for treating COVID-19. The current rates are shocking to the people," Siddaramaiah said.
Questioning the state government, he said, "Where can people pay these rates fixed by the government per day? Looking at these rates can be heartbreaking for the people. This raises the question of whether the government is sensitive to people's issues."

"The government must promptly announce free treatment and set up a standard treatment protocol. The government should appoint a panel of experts to continuously monitor whether treatment is being properly administered and create an environment where the public is free from anxiety," Siddaramaiah added.

Karnataka on Tuesday reported 322 fresh COVID-19 positive cases and eight deaths.
According to the state health department, the total number of positive cases has mounted to 9,721 and 150 deaths. So far, 6,004 people have been discharged.
