Addressing an event in Bengaluru, he said he was sad post the Parliament session because of some people's bad behaviour, and it has gone to the new low the Indian Parliament had gone.  He went on to add that every lawmaker and public representative should remember the obligation to enhance the institution's standards. They are representing and improving one's contribution through quality, character, capacity, and behaviour, citing previous instances at various state legislatures, including Karnataka.
