Controversy increased regarding SC-ST
The Congress in its complaint has claimed that the BJP has threatened members of the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe not to vote for a particular candidate. Also, videos have been shared using animated videos of Rahul Gandhi and Siddaramaiah to show that the Congress Party is favoring a particular religion and oppressing members of the SC/ST and OBC communities, which violates the ethics. There is a violation of the code.
