Controversy broke out after BJP IT cell Amit Malviya announced the dates for elections in Karnataka about 15 minutes before the EC announced it. When asked about it, he said that he got it from a news channel. the state will go to the polls on May 12 and counting will take place on May 15. Meanwhile, BJP national president Amit Shah embarrassed the BJP and state party chief B S Yeddyurappa with his slip of the tongue. While accusing the Congress government in Karnataka, Shah said that if there was a competition for the most corrupt government, "Yeddyurappa government would be number one". Congress president Rahul Gandhi, CM Siddaramaiah and Congress social media head Ramya immediately made use of the opportunity and 'appreciated' Shah for "speaking the truth". The elections are politically crucial for the ruling Congress led by Siddaramaiah as it is the only big state where the Grand Old Party is in power after losing a string of polls to the BJP in the last few years. Besides, the Congress and BJP, the JD(S)-led by former prime minister H D Deve Gowda is the third player in the fray.

Mar 27, 2018 6:21 pm (IST) The CPI took strong exception to the BJP's IT cell chief Amit Malviya tweeting the date of the Karnataka Assembly election even before the Election Commission announced it, saying the poll panel should answer how he got to know about it. "It is a huge embarrassment for the Election Commission. The EC should answer how he got to know about the date. How can such a thing happen and the BJP announces the date when only the EC has the mandate to conduct free and fair polls," party National Secretary D Raja said. Mar 27, 2018 4:15 pm (IST) BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya, who found himself at the centre of a controversy, after outing Karnataka election dates even before the Election Commission’s announcement, has written to the poll panel to clarify his position, In his defence, Malviya claimed that the source of his information was a newsbreak put out by a leading news channel on TV. This is the same defence he had earlier put out in a tweet. The Election Commission has been questioned as to how a political party had access to news before the official announcement and has promised strict action.
