If you throw stones at me, I will respond with stones. I am Pratap Simmha. I am not a mango tree to give you fruit when you pelt stones at it. Siddaramaiah avare, indeed, we have the ability to address people with utmost respect while answering challenging or pertinent questions of public concern. I urge you to introspect about the manner you address our Prime Minister and other stalwarts. As a CM, people expect you to use respectful language while addressing other leaders and when raising issues on social media. Your language should serve as a model for others to emulate, setting a cultured standard for a dignified discourse. —Pratap Simmha, Mysuru-Kodagu MP
Mysore/Mysuru: The verbal sparring has continued unabated among Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simmha, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, the CM’s supporters and party workers.
