DK Shivkumar
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar is facing legal action after allegedly violating the model code of conduct during the Lok Sabha election campaign. The case stems from a video in which the Congress leader purportedly promised Bengaluru voters water from the Cauvery River if they supported his brother, DK Suresh, a candidate in Bangalore Rural.
In the video, which circulated on social media, Shivakumar allegedly referred to his visit to a housing society in his brother’s constituency as a “business deal” and linked water supply to voting for his brother.
The Election Commission deemed his speech a breach of the model code, leading to the registration of a police case for alleged bribery and undue influence in elections.
