Mandya: In a video that has now gone viral, KPCC president D. K. Shivakumar was seen slapping a fellow congress worker who tried to put his hand on D. K. Shivakumar’s shoulder.
It is learned that the incident occurred on Friday evening when D. K. Shivakumar had gone to Bharathi Nagar to visit former MP, Senior Farmer Activist G. Madegowda and enquire about his health.
When DKShi was walking along with fellow party workers, supporters, and leaders, a party worker had tried to put his hands across DKShi’s shoulder. Enrages by the unforeseen close contact, DKShi reportedly slapped the worker across his head, “Don’t you have common knowledge, just because they are filming a video you will put your hands across my shoulder”, he said angrily. The video also shows the party worker immediately retreating to the back.
BJP Condemns: The State BJP condemned the incident and stated that “living a public life, the fact that he has attacked a man in front of the media shows his savage mind-set. Previously, DKShi had attacked a worker who had come to take a selfie. Mr. DKShi, are you a politician or a rowdy” the party questioned in a tweet.
