Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah Loses Cool, Nearly Slaps Police Officer During Rally In Belagavi

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah nearly slapped Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Narayan Bharamani during a public rally in the Belagavi district of Karnataka on Monday. The incident took place after a disruption at the venue where Siddaramaiah was scheduled to speak.

Bharamani, assigned to provide stage security, was caught in the middle of a protest by BJP women workers nearby. Frustrated by the disturbance, Siddaramaiah called the officer to the stage and publicly reprimanded him. He raised his hand as if to slap the officer, but stopped before making contact.

“You, whoever you are, come here, what were you doing?” he questioned and raised his hand to slap the officer, India Today reported.
