Perhaps the hand-eye-mind-action coordination is going wrong for Karnataka Chief Minister who is making one gaffe after another, and getting heavily trolled for it.

If it was his somewhat shocking and against the narrative remarks of wanting no war with Pakistan that kicked up a controversy the other day, on Monday he followed it up with a shocking display of anger and raised hand as if to slap a police official on stage, drawing instant retribution from the opposition BJP.

Addressing a protest rally at Belagavi on price rise, the chief minister got annoyed after a group of women audience heckled him and asked him to go to Pakistan. A visibly angry Siddaramaiah summoned the official on the stage, and from a distance and in videos, appeared to be raising his hand as if to slap the officer, when noisy slogans were started from the mike on the stage, drowning out the voices.
