Prone to sentimental outbursts over coalition troubles, Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy Monday said emotions were in "his blood" and he was getting sympathy of the people.
Asked if he wants to be a "tragic hero" with his frequent emotional outbursts and whether the people would accept it, he said "tragic heroes have been successful."
With tears trickling down his cheeks, Kumaraswamy had said in July last year that he was not happy being the chief minister and "I have swallowed poison like Lord Vishakantha (Shiva)."
