Breaking News

KARNATAKA: A Bengaluru court recently rejected a petition seeking to file an FIR against Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. The case involved allegations of violating electoral norms by making provocative remarks during the Karnataka assembly elections earlier this year. The petitioner claimed that Kharge’s statements were defamatory and incited public discontent.

The court dismissed the plea, stating it lacked jurisdiction over the matter. This development comes amid heightened political tensions between the BJP and the Congress, particularly as accusations of misinformation and personal attacks dominate election campaigns. In a related case, the BJP recently urged the Election Commission to take action against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Kharge, accusing them of spreading falsehoods and violating the Model Code of Conduct during poll campaigns in Maharashtra. The BJP alleged that their comments could disrupt national unity and demanded registration of an FIR.

As the political climate heats up, the Congress continues to stand by its leaders, arguing that the accusations are politically motivated and aimed at diverting attention from pressing governance issues.
