Chief minister Siddaramaiah has announced Rs 25 lakh award to composer Ricky Kej for winning the Grammy Award recently.

What more Siddaramaiah has taken a selfie with the 'Accident' music composer and posted it on his official twitter account.

There was mixed reactions to this online. While some people welcomed it, others commented that giving money for winning a foreign music award was uncalled for while the government does not give money to medal winners in sports.
