Karnataka politics in motion
Haveri went to TKS
DK Sivakumar had earlier gone to Haveri for election campaigning. There, he was planning to collect votes in favor of Congress candidate Vinoda Azoody, who is contesting from the Dharwad Lok Sabha seat. In this case, DK Sivakumar, who went to Savanur area, got down from the car. Congress workers immediately surrounded him. They raised slogans that Congress will surely win the election.
There was a commotion due to the beating of the volunteer
In this context, Municipal Member Alauddin Maniyar puts his hand on the shoulders of DK Sivakumar. Unexpected by this, DK Sivakumar immediately slapped Alauddin Maniyar. Meanwhile, the nearby police tried to move Alauddin Maniyar from there.
Viral video
Then DK Sivakumar left. With this video going viral on the internet, the BJP has made it one of its campaign tactics. Many people are condemning and posting on social media. This is not the first time Congress activist TK Sivakumar has been bashed by BJP IT wing chief Amit Malviya on his website.
Criticism of the BJP
Was laying hands on him a crime? Why do you want Congress workers to work with such leaders? They beat you. Humiliating. They refuse to give tickets to contest elections. A barrage of posts saying that there is no self-respect is going viral.
