Mangaluru: Congress MP and former Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada Sasikanth Senthil has countered Gali Janardhan Reddy’s allegations linking the MP to the Dharmasthala mass burial case, calling the BJP MLA’s statement baseless and hollow.

Senthil, who spoke to Vartha Bharati on the issue, expressed suspicion that Reddy was making the false charges against him as he had played a prominent role in revealing the MLA’s illegal activities when he was Assistant Commissioner of Ballari district.

“The ‘vote theft’ issue is making news across the nation and Reddy might also be attempting to link me to the Dharmasthala case to divert the attention of citizens, but I do not wish to comment on the matter,” Senthil stated.

The BJP MLA from Gangavathi in Koppal district on Tuesday accused the former IAS officer of playing a role in the propaganda against Dharmasthala, adding that the Karnataka government too had formed the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case under pressure from Senthil. He also alleged that the anonymous and ‘masked’ complainant is a native of Tamil Nadu and a close associate of Senthil.
