Rahul Gandhi Seeks Quash of BJP Defamation Case
Rahul Gandhi is in court because the BJP says he and his party, Congress, made false claims about the BJP government in Karnataka.
The claims were about the BJP taking a 40% commission or bribes from contractors.
Rahul Gandhi says he had nothing to do with the advertisement or social media posts that made these claims.
The BJP says the advertisement was clearly about them, even if they weren't named directly.
The court is still deciding what to do and will hear more on December 18.
Rahul Gandhi seeks to quash a defamation case filed by the BJP over a 'Corruption Rate Card' advertisement.
The advertisement was part of the Congress campaign for the 2023 Karnataka Assembly election.
Gandhi's lawyer argues there is no evidence linking him to the advertisement or related social media posts.
The BJP claims the advertisement was directed at them, giving them the right to file the complaint.
The Karnataka High Court has listed the matter for further hearing on December 18.
