The Karnataka election campaign is in its last phase. In such a situation, every party has put full force. There is an echo of election noise in the streets. During the election campaign, controversy has increased over an advertisement of the State Congress Committee. The Election Commission on Saturday issued a notice to the Karnataka unit of the Congress over 'corruption rate card' advertisements published in newspapers against the BJP. The commission said that evidence should be provided by Sunday evening to prove the allegations.

BJP has sent legal notices and complaints to Karnataka Congress Committee, DK Shivakumar, Siddaramaiah and Rahul Gandhi in the matter of 'corruption rate card' advertisements. The Election Commission has considered that advertisement a violation of the model code of conduct. The Commission has issued a show cause notice to the Congress.
