‘PayCM’ posters with CM’s photo surface in Bengaluru, Bommai orders inquiry

“PayCM’ posters with the photo of the Karnataka Chief Minister surfaced in several parts of the city on Wednesday, following which an angry Basavaraj Bommai ordered an inquiry.

He also dubbed it a ‘pseudo campaign,’ which not only maligns his image but also of Karnataka.

“It is a systematic conspiracy to spoil my name and also Karnataka. I have directed the officials concerned to book a case. We will get it investigated to find out the people behind it,” Bommai told reporters here.

“This is a baseless campaign in social media. Everyone knows how to do such things. Also, people know who is running the campaign. These are pseudo campaigns, which have intensified only recently. This has no value,” he added.
