  "account": "Chief Whip of the Opposition in Karnataka's Legislative Council, N. Ravi Kumar, accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of insulting Kannadigas by \"pushing out\" Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar during a protest rally in Delhi. Kumar alleged that Gandhi rudely shoved Shivakumar during the march, displaying \"crudity and brazenness.\" However, Shivakumar denied being pushed, stating that Gandhi merely advised him to board the vehicle following the protestors due to the crowd. The Chief Minister even shared a picture with Gandhi and his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, after a high tea hosted by Gandhi in Delhi. Despite the alleged incident, Shivakumar emphasized that Gandhi represented the pride, dignity, and self-respect of Karnataka's 7.4 crore Kannadigas.",
