Shivamogga district unit of the BJP staged a protest against the Congress party in Shivamogga on Monday in the wake of the recent seizure of huge cash in the IT raids on firms belonging to Rajya Sabha MP Dhiraj Sahu in Jharkhand.
Workers of the BJP staged a dharna in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office. The leaders addressing the gathering questioned the silence of the Congress party over the issue.
BJP district president T.D. Megharaj said Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar’s name was synonymous with corruption. “The Congress government earlier constituted the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to get clean chits for the Siddaramaiah-led government. Now, the cabinet withdrew the permission granted to the CBI to probe the case against D.K. Shivakumar. These incidents prove that the Congress is a party of corrupt people. The seizure of huge cash in Jharkhand highlighted the same point,” he said.
