Karnataka BJP has been cleared by a Lokayukta investigation regarding a 40% commission scheme allegation made by Congress. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah noted that the lack of evidence could be the reason for acquittals, stressing it may not imply innocence. This remains a major political event in Karnataka.

The BJP in Karnataka has claimed that the Lokayukta probe has cleared the party's previous government from 40 per cent commission charges, calling the allegations by the Congress 'false'. The BJP leaders claim that the allegations were part of the Congress' 'tool kit' and were used during the 2023 Assembly polls to corner the then BJP government. However, the Congress government has stated that they have not yet seen the report and that acquittals happen due to a lack of evidence. The BJP has also alleged that the current Congress government is a '60 per cent commission government' and has cited several scams during their time in power.
