On August 31, Siddaramaiah made another controversial remark, where he compared Janata Dal-United (Secular) workers to prostitutes. Reportedly, a reporter had asked the former chief minister his reaction to JDS workers blaming him for the collapse of the JDS-Congress government. He retorted using a slightly changed version of a Kannada proverb, "A prostitute who can't dance says the floor isn't right to dance."

Siddaramaiah made the remark while the president of the Women's Wing of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) Pushpa B Amarnath was present. The original proverb does not use the word prostitute’ but goes by A person who cannot dance blames the bad floor.’
