Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah criticized BJP for not taking action against Hegde's controversial comments on the Constitution, accused BJP of lacking courage to confront Hegde, and claimed that RSS is the real force behind Hegde's statements. Siddaramaiah said the BJP State unit’s dismissal of Hegde's anti-Constitution comments as mere personal views was downright shameful. “Their careless attitude has exposed their ignorance and neglect towards our Constitution. Hegde wasn't just talking in his kitchen; he made those statements publicly as a Member of Parliament.
