Bengaluru, May 7: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has sent a legal notice to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP national president Amit Shah and State president Yeddyurappa over their defamatory comments and baseless corruption allegations.

In the notice, Siddaramaiah's lawyer cited instances of political advertisements published by the BJP and speeches delivered by PM Modi during election rallies and accused the saffron party of promoting a "false" and "defamatory" propaganda against his client.

The notice contained excerpts and phrases from PM Modi's speeches delivered during the election rallies and said that the PM has intentionally and unabatedly made several "defamatory" and "untrue" statements against the Karnataka chief minister. These include, PM’s ‘10 per cent’ remark against Siddaramaiah.

"Advertisements are being published only for the purpose of harming the image of my client and the Indian National Congress Party," the notice read.

Siddaramaiah's counsel said that the allegations against his client are "false", "fabricated", and "politically motivated".

Yesterday, the BJP had accused the Karnataka chief minister of 'aiding, abetting, protecting and promoting' the cheating of private investors in an alleged Ponzi scheme run by a company.

The BJP also sought to know whether Siddaramaiah received the costly Hublot watch for 'facilitating' the company, QI Group of Companies, headed by Vijay Eswaran, to operate in the state.
