Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council K.S. Eshwarappa always garners attention through his impulsive remarks. He did it on Thursday in the Council again.

When the House resumed after the first adjournment, Mr. Eshwarappa was speaking on what he termed “double standards” of the Congress. However, an interruption by Law Minister T.B. Jayachandra made him lose temper and Mr. Eshwarappa shouted at him saying he was unfit to become a Law Minister.

Mr. Eshwarappa sought to know from Mr. Jayachandra “who made him the Law Minister”. His outburst resulted in the Congress members raising objections. Even as Congress leader V.S. Ugrappa sought that the objectionable comment be removed from the records, the House plunged into further chaos, which led to the second adjournment of the day.
