A fresh controversy erupted in Karnataka after state BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa was found to have eaten idli and vadas at a Dalit's home, which were incidentally prepared in a hotel, triggering allegations of him practising untouchability. 

According to reports, on 18 May, the ex-chief minister, along with senior leaders KS Eswarappa, Ananth Kumar and others, had visited a house of a Dalit in Tumkuru to have breakfast.

However, the idli and vadas were apparently brought from a nearby hotel and were not home-cooked. A complaint was then filed  by D Venkatesh of Mandya against the leaders on charges of practicing untouchability.

However, the party was quick to respond to allegations.

"As Yeddyurappa liked idli and vada, it was brought from a hotel. He also ate pulav that was prepared at the Dalits home, state media in-charge Dagge Shivaprakash said.
