The Karnataka Congress has filed a complaint with the Election Commission against BJP national president JP Nadda, social media in-charge Amit Malviya, and state chief BY Vijayendra for allegedly posting a video on social media aimed at intimidating members of Schedule Caste/Scheduled Tribe to not vote for Congress in the Lok Sabha polls. The party also alleged the violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by using animated videos of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, portraying the Congress party as favoring a particular religion (Muslims) and suppressing members of SC/STs and OBC communities.
