Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah on Wednesday called Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai a puppy before Prime Minister Narendra Modi for alleged failure to bring Rs 5,495 crore into the State as was recommended by the 15th Finance Commission.

Hitting back, Chief Minister Bommai said Siddaramaiah's statement mirrors his personality. Just like a faithful dog, he is loyal to the people of the State.
