Mysuru: Former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah landed in a controversy on Monday when he engaged in a wordy duel with a woman and snatched the microphone from her, dislodging her dupatta in the process, at an event in Mysuru. The incident, which occurred during a public interaction organised by Mr Siddaramaiah, his MLA son Yathindra who represents Varun, and others, was caught on camera with the video of  it going viral. Mr Siddaramaiah was quick to apologise to Ms Jamlar, a Congress worker and former taluk panchayat president involved in the incident, as he flung the dupatta back to her.
