HD Kote: State minister DK Shivakumar can’t seem to stay out of the limelight for the wrong reasons. In the latest scandal, the minister has been accused of slapping an individual who was trying to take a selfie with him.
The incident occurred when DK Shivakumar was visiting the Kabini and KRS dams here along with Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and Anitha Kumaraswamy couple and some other Cabinet members including GT Devegowda.
While the ministers were on their way to their vehicle, one person tried to take a selfie with minister DKShi and received a blow to the face as a result. Others fled from the scene almost immediately after the incident.
The Chief Minister was on a visit to the dams in order to offer ‘Bagina’, which is a traditional ritual done when the dam attains full capacity. This is the second time that CM Kumaraswamy has been at the Kabini dam to offer Bagina.
