The ruling Congress and the opposition BJP clashed on Sunday over the ongoing excavation in Dharmasthala, amidst allegations of multiple crimes, including murder and rape, allegedly committed over the past twenty years.
BJP state president B Y Vijayendra led a party delegation to Dharmasthala, affirming support for the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe while urging action against misinformation spread about the temple.
Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar accused the BJP of exploiting the situation for political gain, calling their visit a "Political Yatra." An upcoming assembly statement by Home Minister G Parameshwara is highly anticipated as tensions continue to rise.
