Senior BJP leader K S Eshwarappa found himself in the eye of a storm over his poser to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister K J George whether they will have feelings for victims of sexual assault in the state only if their daughters are "raped".

Eshwarappa's "distasteful" remarks against the backdrop of growing incidents of sexual assault sparked strong condemnation from Siddaramaiah, who has only two sons, while an embarassed BJP Karnataka unit distanced itself from the controversy.

Condemning the remarks, Congress workers staged protests in front of his home in Bengaluru and Shivamogga, before they were whisked away by police.
