As the assembly election is gathering heat, all the political parties are intensifying their campaign. Mudslinging is too has increased rapidly. However a social media campaign under the pretext of Voter awareness is getting viral due to its communal content.

It is alleged that through this “Rashtra Gellisi”  campaign  certain posters are criticizing Siddaramaiah govt  by invoking religious sentiments. Public have complained that the particular campaign is essentially a ploy to spread communal hatred.

The posters appeal to vote for Pro Hindu candidates. This campaign goes against the very spirit of constitution and code of conduct issued by EC.

The poster contains statements like.”Then, Sword in one hand and Quran in the other; Now, Fanaticism” Then Jesia for Hindus, Now- Shadi Bhagya, Shadi Mahal, and gifts to minority Journalist”  However there is no clear information about  author  of this post and  pamphlet. But the address mentions, that the said pamphlet is printed at Rashtrothana Press, Bangalore.  

Vartha Bharathi brought this issue to the notice of Dr. B.R. Ravikanthe Gowda, SP , he promised to look in to the matter and initiate action. He also said that he would discuss the issue with the District magistrate.
