Bengaluru, May 11: As a last minute ditch to the Congress, IT sleuths have conducted raids on the houses and offices of Congress candidates including Bidar south constituency candidate Ashok Kheni, Karwar constituency candidate Sathish Shail, Dharwad Constituency candidate Vinay Kulkarni and others on Friday.

On tip-off, the IT sleuths have conducted raids in Bidar, Karwar, Dharwad and other places on the houses of the candidates and their relatives on Friday morning and verified the documents, it is said.

The IT raids on the houses of candidates and their relatives have been continued in the state for the last one week and it is said that the raids were being conducted on clear information that money is being distributed in the election. This has caused allegations and counter allegations between political parties.

“BJP leaders have been trying to diminish the self confidence of Congress leaders through IT raids. But, it was Congress ancestors who fought against British to get freedom. So, the BJP cannot diminish our confidence through such acts. It is sure that Congress will come to power again”, KPCC working president SR Patil.
