As the former Chief Minister of Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy, and actress-turned-politician Mandya MP Sumalatha are locking horns over the water wastage in the Krishna Raja Sagara (KRS) dam, Kumaraswamy made many heads turn by making derogatory comments on Sumalatha.

Reacting to the concerns of Sumalatha that there are cracks in the Krishna Raja Sagara (KRS) dam, HD Kumaraswamy said in order to prevent water wastage, Sumalatha should lay down at the dam gates.

His derogatory and objectionable comments have increased the political temperature in Karnataka at once. Everyone wonders, how come a person who served as a Chief Minister can pass such comments on a woman legislator.

Sumalatha reacted to the former Chief Minister's statements and hit back at him. Mandya MP Sumalatha said his statements are a reflection of his mindset. She took a dig at him that wounds caused by his son's defeat in Mandya were not healed yet.

Slamming the former Chief Minister over his derogatory comments, Mandya Parliamentarian Sumalatha said she will move the women's commission against Kumaraswamy in this regard.

Kumaraswamy and Sumalatha locked horns over the KRS dam when the Mandya MP alleged that sand is being shifted illegally and had requested the government that an investigation should be launched into the allegations. Since then the confrontation between the two has been going on.

Yesteryear superstar Sumalatha who hails from the Telugu land has acted in over 200 films across languages. She tied the knot with Kannada Rebel Star Ambareesh, one of the celebrated stars in Sandalwood. The couple has a son Abhishek Gowda.

After having a successful career in films, Sumalatha forayed into politics by contesting the Mandya Lok Sabha elections in 2019. She contested as an independent candidate from Mandya and emerged victorious in the elections. Sumalatha crushed Nikhil Kumaraswamy, son of HD Kumaraswamy with over 1.24 lakh votes.
