Following comments by Home Minister Priyank Kharge, the JDS responded by stating, 'Yes, our party is of 'village heroes'. What's wrong?' This statement was made in response to Kharge's earlier remarks regarding Kumaraswamy's statements on the Sting Operation Vichara. Kumaraswamy had previously questioned Kharge, asking, 'Are you a village hero?' Kharge responded by questioning if Kumaraswamy was running a Big Boss show or if investigations could be live-streamed. Kumaraswamy replied, 'Indeed, I am a villager. I was born there and grew up playing in Hatti. I am proud to be a villager. Villagers are not 'heroes'.' Following this, MLA E. Manju of Arakalagudu, MLA G.D. Harish Gowda of Hunasuru, and MLA B.N. Ravikumar of Shidlaghatta changed their Facebook profile pictures to 'I am a village hero. What's wrong?'
