This fact has been mentioned in a diary found at the residence of congress MLC Govindaraju during an IT raid.  Also, an unaccounted money worth Rs 162 crore was also found in an IT raid at the residence of Karnataka state minister Ramesh Jarkiholi. In addition to the two cases, Rs 130 crore unaccounted property has also been found at the residence of Karnataka state member of legislative assembly MTB Nagaraj residence very recently in an IT raid, alleged BJP.
