CHIKKAMAGALUR: Activists of the BJP have launched a poster campaign attacking the Congress government in the state over alleged corruption and its free schemes.

The posters target Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, his son Yathindra, Deputy CM D K Shivakumar, Energy Minister K J George, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi among others.

The BJP activists stuck the posters across the city on Saturday including the taluk office, Mescom office, taluk panchayat and the inspection bungalow.
