Dhananjay Jadhav, BJP rural unit president, has said that Santosh Patil, contractor who was found dead in Udupi on Tuesday, was neither a BJP leader nor worker.
“Santosh Patil was a total fraud. He cheated his friends. He took money from 12 other contractors, promising them that he would get their bills cleared from the Government,’’ Mr. Jadhav told journalists who were waiting near the BJP meeting venue.
