Shivakumar’s remark comes days after he publicly endorsed CM Siddaramaiah’s statement that he will finish his 5-year term.

Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah had snapped at the police officer during a Congress rally today. The Chief Minister lost his cool and nearly slapped the Additional Superintendent of Police (SP) after he was shown black flags allegedly by BJP workers at the rally in Belagavi.

Siddaramaiah had claimed, "It cannot be denied that the hasty approval and distribution of the Covid vaccine to the public could also be a reason for these deaths..."
