Siddu slaps legal notice on Modi
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday sent a legal notice for criminal and civil defamation to the BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah and Yeddyurappa over allegations of corruption levelled against the Congress leader.
New Delhi: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday sent a legal notice for criminal and civil defamation to the BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah and Yeddyurappa over allegations of corruption levelled against the Congress leader.
In the notice, Siddaramaiah's lawyer cited instances of political advertisements published by the BJP and speeches delivered by Modi during election rallies and accused the saffron party of promoting a "false" and "defamatory" propaganda against his client. The notice contained excerpts and phrases from Modi's speeches delivered during the election rallies and said that the PM has intentionally and unabatedly made several "defamatory" and "untrue" statements against the Karnataka Chief Minister.
"Advertisements are being published only for the purpose of harming the image of my client and the Indian National Congress Party," the notice read. Siddaramaiah's counsel said that the allegations against his client are "false", "fabricated", and "politically motivated".
On Sunday, the BJP had accused the Karnataka Chief Minister of 'aiding, abetting, protecting and promoting' the cheating of private investors in an alleged Ponzi scheme run by a company. The BJP also sought to know whether Siddaramaiah received the costly Hublot watch for 'facilitating' the company, QI Group of Companies, headed by Vijay Eswaran, to operate in the state.
