Mangaluru, Apr 14: Prathibha Kulai, General Secretary of Karnataka Mahila Congress, has filed a defamation complaint in the Second JMFC Court in Mangaluru against BJP leaders for misusing her name and photograph in their pre-poll political 'Chargesheet' recently released in Bengaluru.
Prathibha, who is also a corporator in Mangaluru City Corporation, has named Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, BJP State President B S Yeddyurappa, MP Shobha Karandlaje, BJP Publishing Cell's Narasimhamurthy and Dinesh Hegde and office-bearers of Rashtrothana Mudranalaya, Bengaluru, as the accused.
The 'Chargesheet' book has used the photograph of Prathibha instead of BBMP member Manjula Narayanaswamy.
