On June 1, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar appeared before the court in connection with the same.

 

Ahead of Karnataka Assembly polls last year, an advertisement that was published in newspapers accused 'BJP government in Karnataka of large-scale corruption during 2019-2023'. 

In all major newspapers, the advertisements were titled as "Corruption rate card" and accused the then CM Basavaraj Bommai's government of being a "40 per cent Commission Sarkara".
