Soon after the arrest of Hegde, BJP hashtag #IStandWithMaheshHegde was trending on twitter.
According to the reports, Hegde was arrested following a complaint by Karnataka Home Minister M B Patil at Adarsh Nagar Police Station in Vijayapura, in connection with a fake letter pertaining to Lingayat issue. The fake letter had originally surfaced during 2018 assembly election and went viral again right ahead of the second phase election in Karnataka on April 23.
BJP state general secretary CT Ravi also defended Hegde and tweeted that the ‘unholy alliance government’ is playing ‘Neech politics’.
Dakshina Kannada BJP Unit also jumped into to support Hegde and condemned the arrest on twitter.
Intolerance level of CoJa Govt in Karnataka has reached new heights.

2nd bomb threat in 36 hours triggers security sweep at Kanpur Railway Station; no explosives found
Kanpur (PTI): A bomb threat for the second time within 36 hours triggered a massive security operation at Kanpur Central Railway Station on Friday evening, though extensive searches later found no suspicious object, police said.
An emergency call was received at the 112 control room around 7 pm, warning that the railway station would be blown up, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Satyajeet Gupta.
The alert prompted an immediate high-security response, with senior police and administrative officials, heavy police force, the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS), anti-sabotage check teams, and dog squads rushing to the station, he added.

Police and security teams conducted intensive checks across all platforms, circulating areas, waiting halls, parcel offices, and parking zones to rule out any threat.
All suspicious items were examined, and passenger movement was closely monitored during the operation. No explosive material or objectionable object was found, the official said.
This was the second bomb scare at the station in less than 36 hours. A similar threat call had been made on Thursday at around 8.30 am, leading to a full-scale security check.
During the investigation into Friday's call, police traced the phone number to a man identified as Anil. During questioning, he told officers that his mobile phone had been missing since February 24, raising suspicion that the threat may have been issued using the lost device, Gupta told mediapersons.
Police are analysing call detail records and scanning CCTV camera footage to identify the actual caller, he said.
