Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has sent notice for defamation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP president Amit Shah and party leader BS Yeddyurappa for accusing him of corruption and has demanded a public apology.
Mr Siddaramaiah has accused the top BJP leaders of making "baseless, false and untrue remarks" about him in the campaign for the state election this Saturday. Reports suggest that he has sued the leaders for Rs 100 crore.
PM Modi's jibes like "Sidda-rupaiya government", "10 per cent sarkar (that takes commission)" and "ease of doing murders" have been detailed in the legal notice.
On May 1, PM Modi had said at a public meeting in Udupi: "We want to encourage the ease of doing business, they have initiated the culture of ease of doing murder."
He also claims he declared the source of the watch in the assembly and handed it over to the speaker asking that it be treated like an "asset of the state."
