The personal assistant of Union Minister Anantkumar Hegde on Sunday registered a complaint with the New Market police station, saying miscreants had uploaded a fake Facebook post attributed to the minister.
The post attributes a comment to Hegde that the BJP would replace all Kempegowda statues with those of Shivaji if the party came to power. It is aimed at creating acrimony against Hegde among Kannadigas, the complaint by the minister's PA Suresh Shetty says.
The post, in the name of Manju Power Star, has threatened the minister that he will not be allowed to enter Bengaluru.
