A BJP delegation has filed a complaint against Congress spokesperson M Laxman, accusing him of spreading false information and making provocative statements aimed at inciting unrest and hatred.

"On 08.01.2026, KPCC spokesperson M Laxman held a press conference at the Congress Bhavan in Mysore and made serious allegations like, "At the instigation of Union Minister Amit Shah, there was a riot in Bellari and the bodies of Congress workers were found.

If Union Minister V Somanna, who brought Amit Shah's message, is subjected to brain mapping, the conspiracy will be exposed. The riot occurred after V Somanna visited Bellari and held discussions with Janardhana Reddy and Sriramulu.

V. Somanna conveyed Amit Shah's message to Janardhana Reddy and Sriramulu to drop a body and politick," the complaint stated. Laxman has made similar statements in the past, and several defamation cases are already pending against him, the complaint stated
