Bagalakote, Jun 30: The war of words between former CM Siddaramaiah and BJP leader K S Eshwarappa has reached the point of ignition. Shoes and eggs have entered the accusations and counter accusations by both the leaders.

Siddaramaiah who spoke in the city on Friday has said "Even if we gave free shoes and eggs to school students, people did not vote for us." Responding to this statement by Siddaramaiah, Eshwarappa on Saturday said, "Siddaramaiah, who says that he has given shoes and eggs, has not given the same from his personal account. He has provided the same through taxpayers' money. People have hit him with the same shoes and eggs in the last Lok Sabha elections."

Siddaramaiah, who was furious by the statement of ridicule by Eshwarappa reacted during the inauguration of Indira Canteen in the city and said, "Eshwarappa is not a human being at all. I do not know whether he is carrying the shoe in his hand. His tongue does not have culture. He is not civilized at all. They say that BJP has taught them culture. But Eshwarappa lacks culture. I have given shoes, eggs, cloth and rice to the schools children in taxpayers' money only. Modi also gave the rice to the people of Karnataka in tax payers' money only."
