Mahantesh Kavatagimath, a senior BJP leader from Karnataka and member of the legislative council, has triggered a controversy for allegedly posting pornographic images on a WhatsApp group. The social media group, called Belagavi Media Force, has media professionals and district administration officials. Mahaboob Makandar, the administrator of the group, removed Kavatagimath from the group as a result, sources said. Gadadi admitted he was on the group but said he had not checked the message because he did not have internet access. In 2012, two BJP ministers were caught watching a pornographic video when the House was in session.
