Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah faced the wrath of Twitterati on Wednesday for using his official Twitter handle to make an announcement regarding a personal matter.
The CM used his official Twitter handle @CMofKarnataka to say that his son has been hospitalised in Belgium.
Here's what his tweet read:
CM Siddaramaiah's son Rakesh had fell ill while touring in Belgium. Hospitalized& getting better. CM's family is in touch with the doctors.
— CM of Karnataka (@CMofKarnataka) July 27, 2016
Instead of gaining sympathy, his followers lashed out at the CM for using his official account. Read some of the tweets here:
Sorry @CMofKarnataka, I could have visited hospital due to KSRTC strike I am not able to. Please don't mind.
