The recent episode of eggs being thrown on the car of Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah in Kodagu created heat in the Assembly on Tuesday, following Mr. Siddaramaiah’s allegations that it was part of a “conspiracy” by the hilly district’s BJP legislators and contractors to prevent him from inspecting some of the sub-standard rain relief works executed by them.
Raising the issue in the Assembly during the debate on rain woes, Mr. Siddaramaiah alleged that the two BJP MLAs from the district had conspired to instigate their supporters to throw eggs on his vehicle and hold black flag demonstration.
