EC has charged Tejasvi Surya for seeking votes based on religious reasons.

In Bengaluru, a recent incident has caught the attention of the public and the Election Commission. It involves BJP MP and Bangalore South Candidate Tejasvi Surya, who has been accused of violating election rules by posting a video on a social media platform and appealing for votes based on religious grounds. The Election Commission released a statement on Friday stating that a case has been registered against him.

Surya is currently in the midst of a fierce election battle against Congress candidate Sowmya Reddy, who happens to be the daughter of Karnataka's Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy. Many are closely watching this race to see who will come out victorious.

The Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer took to a social media platform, X, to announce the news. He stated that a case has been filed against Surya at the Jayanagar police station for his actions on April 25. The specific charge against him is for using his social media handle to sway voters by appealing to their religious beliefs. This goes against the rules set by the Election Commission to ensure fair and unbiased elections.

The incident has caused quite a stir in the political arena, with many questioning Surya's tactics and the impact it may have on the outcome of the election. The media has also been closely following the developments and providing updates to the public. The PTI, in particular, has been actively reporting on this case and keeping the public informed.

As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen how it will affect Surya's campaign and whether or not he will face any consequences for his actions. The Election Commission has made it clear that they will not tolerate any form of religious or communal appeals in the election process and will take necessary actions against those who violate their rules.
