The public feud escalated after Priyank Kharge mocked HD Kumaraswamy as an unemployed minister and the RSS's blue-eyed boy. In response, Kumaraswamy launched a counter-attack on X, calling Kharge an unfit Home Minister involved in a sting operation plot targeting former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
