Bengaluru: A BJP MLA and minister ended up fighting out each other, near MLAs’ Canteen in the Vidhana Soudha premises, on Monday.

The Monsoon Session kickstarted on September 21 and on the same day Minister for Horticulture Narayana Gowda and Kadur MLA Belli Prakash resorted to a bitter fight.

It is said that when the minister was walking towards the canteen, the MLA stopped him and questioned him about the delay in the release of funds under the Horticulture department for Kadur constituency.

Witnesses say that Prakash passed distasteful comments at the Minister about his style of functioning.

However, responding to Prakash, the Minister first asked him to wear the mask while speaking and then directed him to meet him in his office.

Raged by this, when the MLA continued to use unparliamentary words, the argument took a bitter turn.

Soon, the two engaged in hurling abuses at each other, which soon reached the extent of even exchanging blows. It was BJP leaders CT Ravi, KS Eshwarappa and a few JDS leaders who intervened and stopped the two.
