Case Against Karnataka Congress Chief For Showering ₹ 500 Notes In Rally

The Mandya Court has recently booked the Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar for allegedly throwing ₹ 500 currency notes during the Praja Dhwani Yatra in Mandya, Karnataka.

During the Congress ‘Praja Dhwani Yatra’ near Bevinahalli in Srirangapatna on March 28, Mr. Shivakumar was allegedly seen throwing ₹ 500 currency notes at the artists performing in the rally.

Afterwards, the Election Commission filed a complaint, based on which a non-cognizable offence was registered against DK Shivakumar. Then the Congress leader was booked by Mandya rural police at the direction of a local court.

Earlier on March 29, Mr. Shivakumar expressed confidence in the Congress’s preparedness for the Assembly elections.

Mr. Shivakumar told media that “Congress is ready for elections, we want this govt to be dismissed. The earlier this govt is dismissed, the better it is for the state and country. This election will be development-oriented and for a corruption-free state and country.”

Hitting out at Bharatiya Janata Party, the state Congress chief alleged that the party is “compromising corruption” in Karnataka.

He further added that “This election will be a model because corruption is at its peak. PM Modi encouraged corruption and did not open his mouth. He did not take any action against his party leaders. Only for the sake of the party, he is compromising a lot of corrupt activities. The BJP never gave employment to the youth. Our clean administration will bring our party to power.”

Karnataka, which has 224 seats in the Assembly currently has 119 MLAs of the ruling BJP, while Congress has 75 and its ally JD(S) has 28 seats.

Therefore, the Election Commission on March 29 announced a schedule for the Karnataka Assembly elections. The polling would take place in a single phase on May 10, and the counting of votes will be done on May 13.
