Chikkaballapur, Aug 22: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah expressed anguish against BJP leaders and said, “I had lunch in the guest house and went to Basaveshwara temple in the evening. What is wrong in consuming non-vegetarian food and going to temple? Who are you to question about my food habits?”

Siddaramaiah spoke to the scribes after partaking in the mass marriage that was organized as part of 131st birth anniversary of Dr B R Ambedkar.

Siddaramaiah further said, “BJP always finds speck in others’ eyes and spoils peace. The person who threw egg on my car in Madikeri is not a Congress worker. He is forced to say like that by the BJP.

“Now BJP is opposing Tipu Sultan. Earlier, these very BJP leaders had donned the looks of Tipu. Was it a drama? Yediyurappa himself has written foreword to a book written by a vice chancellor on Tipu Sultan. Where were union minister Prahlad Joshi and former speaker K G Bopaiah then?

“There is no question of me fearing anyone. We believe in our constitution. We behave according to our constitution. I fear only people and respect them too. We, who assume power with the blessings of public, will listen to only them and not others,” he said.
