BJP Seeks FIR Against Karnataka CM Over Election Commission Protest
The BJP has requested Bengaluru Police to file an FIR against Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and his ministers for staging a protest outside the Election Commission office, alleging violation of court rules on public demonstrations. BJP leaders, including B.S. Yediyurappa and BY Vijayendra, criticized Shivakumar's protest and warned against legal action targeting BJP workers over electoral roll objections. Shivakumar accused BJP of attempting illegal voter deletions, a claim BJP leaders denied, calling his protest inappropriate and politically motivated.
