Karnataka: DK Shivakumar Slaps A Congress Worker, Video Goes Viral
Congress heavyweight and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar slapped a man in a viral video that created a buzz on the internet. As shown in the video, DK Shivakumar stepped out of his car amid the chants of 'DK', 'DK' and suddenly found a hand around his shoulder. Irked, Shivakumar threw the unknown person's hand away and slapped him. However, the party worker was stunned by his leader's reaction and could not do anything except for an embarrassed smile.
Later, the man was pushed away by the senior Congress leader's security staff.

According to the reports, the incident happened in the Savanur area of Haveri district to seek support for Congress candidate Vinod Asooti. Congress' young leader, Vinod Asooti, will compete against BJP's three times sitting MP Pralhad Joshi, who is contesting the elections for the fourth term.
Soon after DK Shivakumar's slapping video went viral, mixed reactions started to pour in. Some social media users criticised the man for crossing limits and keeping his hand on the minister's shoulder as the state deputy CM was not his close friend. While some people targeted DK Shivakumar for losing his cool and slapping his own party worker.
Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi also has to face the heat on social media platforms as people mocked him stating "This is what (slapping and violence) are being served in Mohabbat Ki Dukan".
Karnataka has a total of 28 Lok Sabha seats, which will go under polling in two phases (round 2 and round 3). Karnataka has already witnessed polling on April 26 for 14 seats and the election on rest 14 seats will be held on May 7.
However, the counting of votes will be done on June 4, 2024.
