A war of words broke out between Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath on Twitter, when the latter visited Bengaluru for political campaigning.
Adityanath was in Bengaluru to campaign for the BJP ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in the state when he launched an attack on CM Siddaramaiah and the ruling Congress government in the state. In response, Siddaramaiah took to Twitter, sarcastically suggesting that Adityanath can learn a lot from Karnataka.
Siddaramaiah asked him to tour the Indira canteens and other ration shops started by his government. He also raked up the issue of starvation deaths, pointing out the case where a man reportedly starved to death in Bareilly – an allegation the Adityanath government has vehemently denied.
