HDK's vehicle checked 13 times in 20 days amid elections

Karwar: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Thursday said that following implementation of the model code of conduct his vehicle has been stopped at check-posts at least 13 times in the last 20 days.

Reacting to the frequent checking, citing an order from the Election Commission Kumaraswamy asked what the officials were trying to prove.

“On Thursday, after I left having my breakfast, my vehicle was checked twice. What are they trying to prove?” he asked. “We are in the middle of the model code of conduct and we are seeing regular transfers,” he noted.

Earlier on Wednesday, photos of the CM’s vehicle being checked at a check-post in Hassan district had gone viral.

Reagrding the IT raids on Congress and JDS leaders Kumaraswamy said that the BJP was resorting to low level politics and using official machinery to threaten the opposition leaders.
