Opposition Congress on September 21, Wednesday, launched “PayCM 40% accepted here” campaign, a QR code with the face of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, on the lines of the Paytm QR code payment gateway. These posters were pasted on walls at various places in the city. As the campaign went viral, the Chief Minister hit back, calling it an effort to tarnish his and the State’s image.
“Officers concerned have been asked to file a case and identify those behind this campaign,” said the Chief Minister.
