As the video clip went viral in the social media and was criticized by many by calling him arrogant. Coming to the defence of his brother, Kumaraswamy said Revanna's act was not out of 'arrogance'. "I have noticed that the issue has come in TV, dont take him otherwise. I have crosschecked... while distributing the biscuits, there were large number of people there and there was no place for movement," he told reporters. Revanna was also pained that he was being portrayed wrongly, he said adding "If he (Revanna) had asked someone to distribute, the issue wouldnt have arisen at all." Several districts in Karnatka have been hit by heavy rains in the past several days. (with additional input from agencies)
