It can be recalled that recently, when Siddaramaiah had been to the Kagawad Assembly constituency to campaign for Congress candidate Raju Kage ahead of the by-polls, the former addressed the gathering saying, “Former prime minister Indira Gandhi had sacrificed her life for the country.” At that time, Peerappa had shouted “Hodu Huliya”. For this remark, Siddaramaiah had first asked the police to take him out of his sight. He later told the police to give him a chance to behave decently.
This episode had gone viral on all social media platforms, some even making a song out of the incident.
