BJP files court case against K.S. Eshwarappa over use of Modi's portrait in election campaigns
Shivamogga: The BJP district unit in Shivamogga has filed a suit in the Shivamogga Civil Court, demanding that K.S. Eshwarappa, an independent candidate in the Lok Sabha elections from the Shivamogga constituency, must be restrained from using the portrait of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during election campaigns and meetings.
According to the BJP, only an official BJP candidate is allowed to use Prime Minister Narendra Modi's portrait. Any other use would violate Section 29 of the Representation of the People Act. The BJP District Unit President, T.D. Meghraj, has asked the court to issue a restraining order against Eshwarappa, prohibiting him from soliciting votes using Modi's portrait or name in his election campaign meetings.
Advocate K. Basappa Gowda represented the BJP in court. Eshwarappa has filed a caveat regarding the use of Modi's portrait, and the court is scheduled to hear the case on Tuesday.
