The Election Commission has taken action against Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar following allegations of threatening voters to vote for Congress in exchange for Cauvery water supply. The action comes after videos surfaced showing Shivakumar promising water supply in exchange for votes for his brother, DK Suresh, the Congress candidate for Bengaluru Rural parliamentary constituency. The controversy has sparked accusations from the BJP and JD(S), who have accused the DK brothers of 'blackmailing' voters.
The matter came to light after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP0 approached the poll body seeking action against Shivakumar.
BJP leader Amit Malviya had slammed Shivakumar's statements and said that such threats and quid pro quo moves are unacceptable
