BENGALURU: The public spat between defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Karnataka tourism minister Sa Ra Mahesh in Kodagu escalated right into a confrontation between the state and Centre on Saturday. While deputy chief minister G Parameshwara accused Sitharaman of “lashing out” against his colleague, the defence ministry stated Mahesh’s “personal remarks” against the Union minister had been in “dangerous taste”.
Parameshwara took to Twitter to back Mahesh, saying, “Our ministers have stayed back in Kodagu for weeks to oversee aid operations at the side of the district management. You must lengthen to them the similar admire that they lengthen for the assist out of your finish. It was once disappointing to peer you lash out at my colleague.”
On Friday, during a visit to flood--hit Kodagu, the Union minister had snapped at Mahesh, who's the district in-charge minister, when the latter rushed her thru her interactions with ex-servicemen and requested her to attend a overview meeting with officers instead.
“I am following a minuteto-minute programme, minister,” Sitharaman instructed Mahesh in the presence of mediapersons. “If officers are vital, my parivar (family) may be vital. Central minister follows the minister in-charge right here. Unbelievable.” Parameshwara tweeted: “State governments derive their powers from our Constitution not from the Centre. We are not not so good as the Centre.”
