Watch | Congress worker with Indian flag in hand removes Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah's shoes

A Congress worker, with the Indian flag in his hand, removed shoes from the feet of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah earlier today as he arrived to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his birth anniversary.

Soon after, a man present at the spot took the flag from the worker's hands as he continued removing the shoes of the CM.

This comes as leaders from all over India are paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi on his 155th birth anniversary.

This comes at a time when the Karnataka CM finds himself embattled in the MUDA site allotment case, where it is alleged that 14 compensatory sites were allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife in an upmarket area in Mysuru (Vijayanagar Layout 3rd and 4th stages), which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been "acquired" by MUDA.

The Mysuru Urban Development Authority on Tuesday decided to take back 14 plots allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathi B M, following her decision to relinquish their ownership and possession. The MUDA has ordered to cancel the sale deed of these plots.
