New Delhi: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah came under fire on Twitter when the official handle of the CM of Karnataka tweeted how his convoy had allowed an ambulance to overtake. The @CMofKarnataka even retweeted a similar tweet by the traffic police:

Twitterverse went after the CM for “boasting” about giving way to an ambulance
@CMofKarnataka So this is a big achievement haan? Come on it's basic common sense to give ambulance priority!— ಅಧಿಕ ಪ್ರಸಂಗಿ (@shetty_shailesh) May 21, 2017
One Twitter linked the tweet to the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.
@CMofKarnataka We know that election is coming! And we never forget that day when your convoy stopped the an ambulance taking old women to hospital!— ಅಧಿಕ ಪ್ರಸಂಗಿ (@shetty_shailesh) May 21, 2017
One trolled the CM, saying he “deserved” a Nobel peace prize for the gesture.
@CMofKarnataka WOW. Great achievement! You deserve a NOBLE Peace Prize for this!— Rohit Bhat (@iRohitBhat) May 21, 2017

The CM was even asked to ditch his convoy all-together in favour of public transport.
@CMofKarnataka @blrcitytraffic When common sense is boasted upon.. Why do you need a convoy? Take a bus to wherever you are going.. You want public to do it? pic.twitter.com/tH7EpprjdU— Jeba (@Jeba) May 22, 2017
