New Delhi, March 29

Yathindra Siddaramaiah, former Karnataka MLA and son of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, has triggered a controversy by allegedly calling Union Minister Amit Shah a “gunda” (rowdy).

Hitting back, the BJP said it would lodge a complaint with the Election Commission. “Yathindra has used objectionable words. We will complain to the Election Commission and the police,” said BJP leader N Ravikumar.

Speaking in Karnataka’s Hunsur, Yathindra said, “He (Shah) faces murder charges in Gujarat. He has a criminal background. But now, he is in a high position in the country.”

Attacking the Centre, he said the promise of creating 2 crore jobs wasn’t fulfilled. “Now they say it’s not the Centre’s responsibility to create jobs…. Even the names of Swiss bank account holders have not been revealed,” he said.
