"Huge number of police force enters CM house without any intimation.. If this what they can to do an elected CM, think what they can with poor people!!!" Prakash wrote on Twitter.

There is minimum courtesy in democracy. Every citizen has rights under constitution. Is it an attempt to humiliate a CM who is working tirelessly for the poor and the last man of the society?
