Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi today slammed Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and said he had "lost his mental balance" after the latter lashed out at workers of Yermarus Thermal Power staging a protest over wages in Raichur.
"The people of Karnataka didn't vote for Mr Kumaraswamy to become the chief minister (CM). Then why is he the CM? He is holding the position with an unhealthy alliance with Congress. Now, he has lost his mental balance particularly after his son's defeat in the recent polls," Karnataka lawmaker said.
On Wednesday, agitated employees of the Yermarus Thermal Power Station had shouted "shame shame" and blocked the Chief Minister's convoy for a short while, urging him to fulfill their long pending demands.
