NDTV
CN Ashwath Narayan on his part said, his statement was not personally directed at Siddaramaiah and in case the Congress legislature party leader is hurt, he will express regret.
Senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Thursday accused Karnataka Minister CN Ashwath Narayan of trying to 'instigate' people to kill him as he took exception to the latter's statement that he should be "knocked out and sent off" like the 18th century ruler of erstwhile Mysuru Kingdom, Tipu Sultan.
He urged Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to immediately initiate action against CN Ashwath Narayan by sacking him from the cabinet.
The Leader of Opposition in the state assembly was referring to Ashwath Narayan's recent remark in Mandya while targeting him.
"Tipu's son Siddaramaiah will come.... Do you want Tipu or Savarkar? Where should we send Tipu Sultan? What did Uri Gowda and Nanje Gowda do? In the same way he should be knocked out and sent off," Mr Narayan had said.
