Mangaluru: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lodged a complaint against the Congress party, alleging the circulation of a fake pamphlet on social media aimed at defaming BJP candidate Captain Brijesh Chowta and maligning the Bunta community.

Co-convener of the district BJP legal cell, Deviprasad V. Samani, stated that the pamphlet was purportedly issued under the fictitious name of "Bunt Brigade Dakshina Kannada, Mangaluru," and contained objectionable content. This pamphlet, featuring the image of Captain Brijesh Chowta, has reportedly been widely circulated on social media platforms, potentially sowing discord among communities.

Accusing the Congress of exploiting the situation for electoral gain, Samani seeked attention towards the timing of the pamphlet's circulation, just two days before polling day. The BJP has formally registered a complaint with the Dakshina District Electoral Officer, seeking appropriate legal action against those responsible for the dissemination of the fake material.

The complaint has been officially recorded by the district complaint monitoring cell.
