Bangalore, 21/7: The High Court of Karnataka has said that it will hear on July 28 a petition challenging the election of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to the Assembly from Varuna constituency.
The petition blames the election manifesto of the Congress party which promised five ‘guarantees’ as ‘corrupt practices amounting to bribery and also undue influence under Section 123(2) of the Representation of the People Act.”
The petition alleges that Siddaramaiah had breached the provisions of the Constitution and the rules and guidelines under The Representation of the People Act.
