An FIR has been registered against BJP president JP Nadda, party’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya and Karnataka unit chief BY Vijayendra in connection with a social media post that allegedly intimidated members of the SC and ST community not to vote for a particular candidate, police said on Monday. .
The action was taken following a complaint lodged by the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) on Sunday with the Election Commission and the police alleging violation of the model code of conduct, they said. They were booked under sections of the Representation of People Act and section 505 (2) (Statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill will between classes) of the IPC, a senior police officer said.
In the complaint, KPCC cited a video uploaded to ‘X’ by the official account of the Karnataka state BJP which it alleges is operated by Malviya, on the instructions of Nadda, Vijayendra and the Karnataka BJP, on May 4.
