The ruling BJP has sought a public apology from Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah for his reported remarks that Dalits have supported the BJP for ensuring their own livelihoods. The former Chief Minister has hit back, arguing that his statements were being deliberately misrepresented.
Describing this as an “insult to Dalits”, the BJP SC Morcha held a protest in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Participating in the protest, BJP leaders, including MLA P. Rajiv, demanded that Mr. Siddaramaiah tender an apology to Dalits for such an “insensitive” statement. Similar protests were held elsewhere in the State too.
