Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has denied allegations by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the Congress has been disrespectful of kings and queens.
“Mr. Modi is deliberately misleading the people. He is lying that Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders are insulting kings like Shivaji Maharaj or queens like Kittur Channamma. This is completely wrong. Rahul Gandhi had only spoken about the importance of the Constitution that gave fundamental rights to the citizens,” he said.
“Mr. Modi is going around spreading lies that we are disrespectful of the kings and queens. This is completely false. We have never insulted any king or queen. It is never our intention too,” he said.
