The Opposition BJP that staged a dharna throughout the State for the second day on Tuesday demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, demanded a CBI probe into the recent I-T raids in Bengaluru unearthing crores of unaccounted money and valuables.
Addressing the BJP activists who staged a protest at Freedom Park in Bengaluru, former Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda maintained that the CBI probe was a must to trace the “unseen hands” behind the money that was seized in the raids.
Mr. Gowda alleged that the seized money was a commission that was paid by contractors in return of the release of their pending bills to the tune of ₹650 crore.
