Rahul, Siddaramaiah get court summons over ‘40% commission’

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaih, his deputy DK Shivakumar and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi have been summoned by court over the party's allegations of "40 per cent commission" by the previous BJP government.

In the run-up to the Karnataka Assembly elections last year, Congress used their allegations to attack the BJP government and even put up “PayCM” posters with former Chief Minister Basavraj Bommais visage. A QR code on the posters took users to a '40 per cent Sarkara' website that was launched by Congress to highlight how a 40 per cent commission rate allegedly became the norm under the BJP regime.

Vinod Kumar, a lawyer from the BJP's legal unit, filed a complaint against the Congress leaders over the advertisements, and they have been asked to appear before a special MP/MLA court on March 28.
