Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, who likes to flaunt his pro-poor image, is facing heat over his alleged love for luxury brands.
The controversy was first raked by JD (S) leader H D Kumaraswamy, who alleged that the CM wore a watch worth over Rs. 50 lakh and sunglasses valued at Rs. 2 lakh.
That turned all eyes on Siddaramaiah's watch, as The Hindu put it.
Siddaramaiah tried to get away saying the watch was gift from someone, following which an activist has filed a case in Lokayukta seeking details.
On Thursday, Bangalore Mirror claimed its photographers had caught Siddaramaiah wearing luxury brands which are not limited to watches.
According to Mirror, this is the checklist of Siddaramaiah's fashion accessories, along with their price tag:
Two Rolex watches - the price of one estimated at Rs 9 lakh; other - not known.
One Audemars Piguet watch - Rs 3 lakh
One Tissot watch - Rs 1 lakh
Hermes leather sandals - Rs 30,000
Louis Vuitton shoes - Rs 40,000
Montc blanc spctacle frame - Rs 15,000
