The Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister, DK Shivakumar, responded to the Election Commission`s notice regarding advertisements of welfare schemes during election campaigning in Telangana polls, stating that the ads merely highlighted the government`s achievements without asking for votes. According to Shivakumar, the Election Commission`s notice does not align with the law.
"Politically, we have not asked for votes. Whatever our government has done in our state, there are a lot of Telugu-speaking people here also, a lot of other language speaking people also live here, so we have given advertisements what we have done in our government. We`ve not asked for votes. We only gave advertisements on the works done by our government here," Shivakumar told news wire ANI.
