Karnataka : Irked Siddaramaiah slaps Congress worker, video surfaces

Bengaluru, March 24: In yet another incident that showcases senior Congress leaders ruthless behaviour towards junior party workers, former Karnataka CM and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah slapped a party worker in Bengaluru on Friday.
