Parameshwara issued a clarification but not before he was slammed by several people.
“I work with my team day in & day out and consider them as my extended family. They're my strength & am hurt by all the talk of my abuse of power to ill-treat them. The help extended to me was spontaneous & not coerced. It should be seen in that light & not blown out of proportion,” the Deputy Chief Minister tweeted.
