According to the reports, Karnataka Chief Minister Kumaraswamy has come forward to support his brother and said in his defence that ‘I have noticed that the issue has come in TV, don't take him otherwise. I have crosschecked... while distributing the biscuits, there were a large number of people there and there was no place for movement’, HT reports.
