As soon the video went viral on social media Congress leader Dinesh Gundu Rao came forward in Siddaramaiah's rescue. He said former CM wanted to pull the mic and the scarf  (dupatta) came along with it.

"Sometimes when people start asking questions in a rough way & after hearing them out when they don’t stop, you want to pull the mic. When pulling the mic the dupatta came along with. There was no such intention," Dinesh Gundu Rao said.

The main rival party in no time attacked Siddaramaiah for misbehaving with the lady. Union Minister Prakash Javadekar took jibe with 'tandoor case' and said they only respect women from one family (Gandhi).

"Rahul Gandhi should tell what he'll do with him. This is a crime, the way he abused her. That's how they see women, they haven't changed since the tandoor case. They only respect women from one family," Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said.
