Will you change BR Ambedkar's Constitution? Voters slam MP Pratap Simha during election campaign
Mysuru: Mysore Member of Parliament, Pratap Singh, faced opposition from the residents of Kupya village in Mysuru while campaigning for BJP candidate V. Somanna in the Varuna constituency. The incident comes after both Singh and Somanna were previously heckled by the residents of Lalidrapura during their campaign.
On Thursday, Singh and Somanna arrived at Puchara in Kupya village to seek votes but were met with questions from the villagers. However, they remained silent and did not provide any answers, as can be seen in a video that has been circulating on social media.
In the video, the villagers can be seen asking Simha if he wants to change the Constitution written by BR Ambedkar. They also slammed him for questioning the contribution of Siddaramaiah to Mysuru and added that Simha would know his contribution if he sits beside him.

Kerala BJP leader PC George booked for 'hate speech'
Kottayam (Kerala), Jan 11: Kerala BJP leader P C George has been booked for allegedly making remarks that could incite religious hatred, police said on Saturday.
George was accused of hate speech against a minority community during a TV discussion held early this week, sources said.
The Erattupetta Police here registered a case against the senior leader on Friday based on a complaint filed by the Muslim Youth League Municipal Committee.
He was booked under various sections of the BNS, police said adding that further proceedings would be initiated soon.
"The case was registered after the statements of the complainants were recorded," a police officer said. Meanwhile, BJP strongly condemned the police case against George and alleged that it was a "political vendetta by the LDF government."
Senior BJP leader and the party's Kerala in-charge Prakash Javadekar accused the CPI(M)-led Left government of not saying a word against Hamas and admitting PDF followers into their fold.
Justifying George, Javadekar said he has already clarified that his intention was to express opposition to extremism and not to target any community.
"FIR against PC George is political vendetta by LDF government, which doesn't say a word against Hamas and admits PDF followers into their fold," he posted on his 'X' handle.
"UDF is also guilty of appeasing extremist politics. It never appreciated ban on PDF or condemned Hamas. PC George has already clarified that his intention was to express opposition to extremism & not to target any community. Kerala stands firmly against extremism," he added.
BJP state chief K Surendran also criticised the Pinarayi Vijayan government for registering the case against George and said the party would face the case legally and politically.
He also alleged that the government registered the case against the senior leader under the pressure of communal forces.
