Bengaluru: Lashing out at former chief minister Siddaramaiah for his remarks on Karnataka government’s handling of the drugs case, BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Saturday sought to know who was responsible for the deaths of IAS officer D K Ravi, deputy superintendent of police Ganapati, and sub-inspector Mllikarjun Bande.

Pointing out that Congress leaders were suspected to be involved in the death of these government officers, Nalin questioned the then chief minister Siddaramaiah on why he failed to take action against them.

Earlier in the day Siddaramaiah termed the Karnataka government’s handling of the drugs case as an evil attempt to divert public attention from COVID-19 and flood mismanagement and accused the ruling BJP of trying to protect its own leaders while defaming opposition leaders.

Further Nalin accused Siddaramaiah of indulging in politics of appeasement for a particular community and said that following release of SDPI, PFI workers by then Congress government, around 10 Hindu activists had been murdered in the state.
