Raichur, Jun 26: Chief minister H D Kumaraswamy was heard saying “You vote for Narendra Modi and come to me for help” addressing the protestors on the way to Karegudda village near here on Wednesday, June 26.
The state-run power project Yermarus Thermal Power Station (YTPS) workers had stopped the vehicle of the chief minister.
They had earlier gathered outside the guest house where the chief minister was staying and wanted to submit a memorandum to seek Kumaraswamy's intervention over arrears of their salaries and termination of a few of their colleagues by the YTPS management. The chief minister refused to meet them and tried to proceed to the village.
He got angry when the workers tried to stop the bus he was travelling. “You vote for Narendra Modi and come to me for help. I should I respect you?” the chief minister said who was visibly seen upset.
He also warned them of a lathi-charge for blocking his way.
Raichur district in-charge minister Venkatrao Nadagowda, who was also in the vehicle, pacified the chief minister, but the police had a tough time clearing the way for the vehicle.
