The Karnataka CM while speaking to reporters also reacted on BJP’s complaint to Karnataka Governor against him.

“I'm happy. I will reply to their complaint. If the Governor demands a clarification I will reply to him. What wrong did I do? Like Yeddyurappa, did I ask people to set fire? Earlier, Yeddyurappa had said people must set the state on fire. I did not make any such statement. In my speech I said revolt which means protest. Is protesting wrong or undemocratic? People will decide if it is right or wrong,” said the Karnataka CM.

The BJP had asked the state Governor to take action against Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy for asking people to wage a "war" against the saffron party. They also filed a complaint with the Karnataka DGP, seeking action on the ground of sedition against HD Kumaraswamy.
