Congress files complaint against BJP over controversial video depicting Muslims, RaGa

• Congress files complaint against BJP leaders for posting a video allegedly intimidating SC/ST community members
• The video depicts SC, ST, and OBCs as "eggs" in a basket of reservation, with Congress leaders planting another “egg” of the Muslim community
• It also portrays Congress leaders favouring the Muslim community over SC, ST, and OBCs by putting more funds into their mouths

The Congress party in Karnataka has lodged a formal complaint against BJP national president J P Nadda, along with BJP's IT cell head Amit Malviya and state unit chief B.Y. Vijayendra. The complaint arises from a video shared on social media platforms, allegedly aimed at intimidating members of Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) communities.

In the complaint letter submitted by Ramesh Babu, chairman of the media and communications department of KPCC, attention is drawn to a video posted on the official social media accounts of Karnataka BJP. This video features animated representations of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah.

The contentious video portrays SC, ST, and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) as "eggs" placed in a basket symbolizing reservation. It depicts Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi planting another “egg” of the Muslim community in the reservation basket, portraying him of favouring the Muslim communty over SC, ST and OBCs by putting more funds into their mouths.

“In the said video, it is projected as though funds are fed into mouth of Muslim Community and that the Muslim Community kicks out SC, ST and OBC community,” Ramesh Babu said.

"The video…is nothing but intimidating SC/ST community not to cast vote to Congress. This is clear case of intimidating Sc/St community members and further projecting Sc/St community people in bad light showing them as "Eggs" and being kicked by another religion i.e., Muslims," Ramesh Babu said.
