Siddaramaiah hit out at Hegde, saying he has no respect for the Constitution.
"Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde is uncultured. He doesn't know parliamentary or politically-correct language. He is unaware of the country's social systems, and has no respect for the Constitution," said Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
The CM was reacting at the Congress rally in Hubbali on Monday, to the union minister's statement on Sunday that the BJP would amend the Constitution of India.
"He (Hegde) speaks anti-secular language. It is impossible to turn a secular country like India into a Hindu Rashtra," Siddaramaiah said.
