Mysuru: Former Minister V. Sreenivasa Prasad has likened Chief Minister Siddharamaiah to demon king Ravana, a mythological character in the epic Ramayana. He also mocked All India Congress Committee (AICC) President Rahul Gandhi calling him a ‘shouting commandant,’ who is being touted as the next Prime Minister of the country despite a series of electoral defeats.
Sreenivasa Prasad’s outburst comes within days of Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha calling Siddharamaiah ‘Siddaravanaiah,’ only to rile his followers. Prasad, who spoke to reporters at his residence yesterday said, “While Siddharamaiah is Ravana, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President Dr.G. Parameshwara can be equated with Vibhishana, Ravana’s younger brother, known more for his good conduct.”
