Speaking at a party workers' meeting, Mr Shivashankarappa disparaged Ms Siddeshwara's qualifications, claiming that she lacks the ability to address public issues effectively.
Senior Congress MLA Shamanur Shivashankarappa has sparked controversy with his recent remarks concerning the BJP nominee for Karnataka's Davangere parliamentary seat, Gayathri Siddeshwara, wife of incumbent MP and former union minister GM Siddeshwara.
Speaking at a party workers' meeting, Mr Shivashankarappa disparaged Ms Siddeshwara's qualifications, claiming that she lacks the ability to address public issues effectively.
"As you all know she wanted to give lotus flower to Modi by winning the elections. First, let them understand the problems of Davangere. We (Congress) have done developmental work in the region. It's one thing to know how to talk, but they know only to cook in the kitchen, the opposition party doesn't have the strength to talk in front of the public," Mr Shivashankarappa said.
