Political Controversy: BJP MLA BP Harish Accused of Insulting Woman IAS Officer

The Davangere police have initiated an investigation against BJP MLA BP Harish following his contentious remarks about a woman IAS officer. The complaint was filed by Superintendent of Police (SP) Uma Prashanth, leading to the registration of an FIR. Harish’s comments, made at a public gathering, drew criticism for their disrespectful tone and the analogy he used to describe the officer’s behavior. This incident highlights a growing trend of political figures in Karnataka making derogatory statements toward female bureaucrats, with previous instances involving other prominent BJP members.
