Bengaluru: Not really known for punctuality, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddharamaiah's watch is the recent talk of the town after JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy said the timepiece costs Rs 7000,000. Addressing an election meeting he said, “Siddaramaiah calls himself a socialist. But, he wears a foreign watch worth Rs 7000,000 and his shades costs another Rs 500,000.” Reacting to the allegations, the CM offered to sell both his watch and his shades to Kumaraswamy for Rs 500,000. He said, “Kumaraswamy has no credibility. He believes in hit and run politics. His charges are utterly baseless. I did not buy this watch. A friend gifted it to me.”
