The Election Commission on Tuesday reprimanded Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister K S Eshwarappa for violating the Model Code of Conduct in connection with his alleged hate speech and asked him to be cautious in future.
The BJP leader who is also the candidate from Shimoga assembly constituency in Karnataka has been booked for allegedly inciting communal feelings and promoting hatred and ill-will between different classes in society in a speech on 9th April.
Karnataka goes to polls on 5th May and counting will take place on 8th May.
The poll body issued an order on Wednesday after taking into account Eshwarappa’s initial reply to its notice issued on 12th April.
