BJP seeks action against Congress over "Karnataka Sovereignty" controversy.

The Election Commission has asked Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge to clarify a tweet attributing a remark on sovereignty to his predecessor Sonia Gandhi during an address in Karnataka. The BJP had complained that any remark on sovereignty for a state amounts to a suggestion of secession. The tweet triggered a sharp attack from the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who accused the Congress of openly advocating to "separate" Karnataka from India.
