Congress leader Siddaramaiah is seen slapping an aide in a video clip that has drawn huge criticism online. The former chief minister hit the Congress worker at the Mysuru airport.
According to Mr Siddaramaiah’s aide, he “tried to push a phone to his ear and wanted him to talk to some official to put in a word for him”. It was then that the Congress leader grew irritated, said the aide.

A few months ago, he was on camera misbehaving with a woman Congress worker who had come to him with a complaint about the local MLA. The woman was demanding answers from him when, in a fit of anger, he shouted at her and snatched her mic, accidentally pulling her dupatta.
