Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced on Saturday that he has instructed the legal department to assess possible legal actions against alleged electoral malpractice during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
This move comes after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi suggested probing election fraud in the Mahadevapura assembly segment, part of Bengaluru Central Lok Sabha constituency, during 2024's general elections.
Siddaramaiah emphasized a quick decision pending recommendations from the legal advisory, while countering BJP's accusations of a slow response by highlighting his belief in Gandhi's claims of election manipulation.
