The Congress has accused the BJP of making desperate efforts to politicise the recent murder in T. Narsipur near here by fomenting communal trouble.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana told reporters in Mysuru on Wednesday that the BJP was trying to politically exploit the situation arising out of the murder that took place in the wake of differences arising between two groups during a recent Hanuman Jayanti celebration in T. Narsipur.
While condoling the death of Venugopal Nayak, Mr. Lakshmana said the police was conducing an impartial inquiry and arrested six persons and assured that the Congress government was committed to taking the case to the logical end by bringing the guilty to book.
