Mysuru | Congress leader Siddaramaiah had earlier compared JD(S) workers to ‘prostitutes’ when asked about Karnataka coalition fallout.
Asked for a reaction on how JD(S) is blaming him for fall of the coalition, the senior Congress leader used an old Kannada saying in response which literally translates to – “prostitute who couldn’t dance, blamed the floor”.
The Congress leader later issued a clarification and said he meant dancers who can’t dance, not prostitutes. “I meant dancers who can’t dance, complain about the dance floor. By this, I meant the BJP, who else?,” news agency ANI reported him saying.
However, later in the day, he clarified his statement. He said the remark was for BJP.
