The Bengaluru court on Saturday has granted bail to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivakumar in relation with a defamation case filed against them by the BJP.
The saffron party accused the Congress leaders of putting false advertisements against its party leaders, including the then Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
Furthermore, Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar appeared before the 42nd Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in person today.
After hearing their plea, the court granted them bail.
BJP MLC and General Secretary Keshav Prasad filed the defamation case against Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
While alleging that 40% commission was charged for execution of all public works, the Congress also published a ‘corruption rate card’ against the former government.
