Rajeev Chandrasekhar asks Siddaramaiah to hug Pak PM Imran Khan;Siddaramaiah replies 'I am not Modi'
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Sunday reminded Rajeev Chandrasekhar about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to Pakistan and lunch with its then PM Nawaz Shareef, when Chandrasekhar tried to instigate Siddaramaiah by calling on him to hug Pakistan PM Imran Khan as it will also help him to become the favourite of Congress chief Rahul Gandhi.
Chandrasekhar retweeted a tweet by Pakistan PM Imran Khan wherein he remembered Tipu Sultan on his death anniversary and added that he admire him as he chose freedom and died fighting for it rather than live a life of enslavement. Chandrasekhar took a dig at Siddaramaiah and asked him to hug Khan to become the favourite of Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi like Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Replying to the tweet the former CM added that he was not like Narendra Modi to share Biryani with the PM of enemy country nor he was like Chandrasekhar to compromise on ethics to please his bosses.
“It is better to lead a life of Tipu Sultan than like a slave of your bosses like you” he added in the tweet that caught a lot of attention on the micro-blogging site.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
