#Karnataka's Deputy CM Govind Karjol caught distributing cash to party workers. Karjol claimed that he was giving money for car refuelling.
Case Filed: A day after video of Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Govind Karjol allegedly giving away cash during an election campaign surfaced on social media, the Karnataka Pradesh Congress has filed a complaint with the chief election officer to initiate action against Karjol as a clear violation of Section 171 (C) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 123 (1) (A) of the Representation of Peoples Act and violation of the model code of conduct.
The Congress has also complained against the BJP’s Hoskote candidate MTB Nagaraj, another Congress turncoat, for allegedly distributing gold rings to voters.
The incident occurred at Athani in Belgavi, one of the 15 Assembly constituencies that will see by-elections on December 5. The deputy chief minister was campaigning along with BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel for party candidate Mahesh Kumatahalli. Kumatahalli is one of the 17 disqualified Congress MLAs who switched camps and led to the fall of the HD Kumaraswamy-led coalition government.
