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".
