Raichur (Karnataka): Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday lost his cool and lashed out at protesters who were blocking his bus in Karnataka's Raichur.

Workers from Yermarus Thermal Power Station surrounded Kumaraswamy's bus, which was on its way to Karegudda for his 'village stay' programme.

The protesters protested over wages and other issues and reportedly raised slogans of 'Shame! Shame!', when Kumarswamy lost his cool and lashed out at them.

Seated inside his red bus, Kumaraswamy reportedly asked protesters to 'go and vote for Modi'. He reportedly asked protesters why they come to him with problems when eventually they end up voting for Modi.

He then reportedly threatened the protesters to give a 'lathicharge' order if they did not budge.
