The police arrested a man for abusing Congress leader and former MLA Yathindra Siddaramaiah at a Kanakadasa function in Gundlupet near here on Saturday.
When Mr. Yathindra was addressing the gathering for Bhakta Shreshta Kanakadasa programme at D. Devaraj Urs Sports Grounds in Gundlupet, a man reportedly allegedly abused the Congress leader, who is also Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s son, in a foul language, sparking unrest among a section of the crowd.
Though the man left the venue on a motorcycle, a section of the crowd displayed their anger over the allegedly abusive language used by him against Mr. Yathindra and demanded action. Tension prevailed at the function for some time even as the Congress leader appealed to the crowd to remain calm.
