Former deputy chief minister and BJP leader K.S. Eshwarappa has lodged a caveat in the Karnataka High Court to preempt any unilateral order regarding the use of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s portrait in his election campaign. Amidst tensions with the state BJP unit, Eshwarappa took this step after learning of potential legal action aimed at restricting his use of Modi’s photo. Asserting that there’s no prohibition on employing the Prime Minister’s image, Eshwarappa defended his campaign choices and emphasized Modi’s universal significance. His independent candidacy in Shivamogga stems from dissatisfaction over his son’s denial of the BJP ticket in Haveri.
