Mandya, Mar 16: All the focus is on the election activities of the Lok Sabha constituency of this district due to the entry of Sumalatha Ambareesh. It has been a war of words with accusations and counter accusations coupled with criticizing each other. Now this war is spread to Twitter also.

Immediately after Sumalatha met former CM and senior BJP leader S M Krishna at this residence in Bengaluru, chief minister of the state H D Kumaraswamy took to twitter ridiculed their meeting.

Ridiculing Sumalatha's statement, Kumaraswamy tweeted on his account, "Honourable Sumalatha, I was extremely happy after reading your pro-farmer statement. However, the people of this country called us lovingly as the 'Children of the Soil' (Mannina Makkalu). Ours is a heart that beats for the farmers. But now, all of a sudden, you have come from nowhere and sharing your experiences of tilling, sowing and harvesting in the fields. We need your suggestions for the betterment of farmers. We are eager to hear your suggestion."

Kumaraswamy also took to task former CM S M Krishna, who has said that he vehemently opposes the family politics of the Deve Gowda family. Chief minister Kumaraswamy wrote on his twitter account against S M Krishna saying "Greetings to respected Krishna. No one has entered from the backdoor in our family. They have got power, only when people have elected them. However, I hope you remember seeking help of Deve Gowda to enter the Rajya Sabha through the back door."
