BJP conspiring to win Karnataka election: Congress on voter ID card raids
New Delhi, May 9 (IBNS): Reacting to the voter ID card raids in Bengaluru on Tuesday night, the Congress has alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is conspiring to wrest power in poll-bound Karnataka.
A Congress delegation met the Election Commission on Wednesday to complain against the BJP.
Congress leader Anant Kumar said: "BJP knows they are losing in Karnataka so they are doing these."
The Election Commission has ordered a probe after nearly 10,000 voters ID cards were found from a ‘rented’ apartment in North Bangalore’s R R Nagar area on Tuesday.
Chief Electoral Officer Sanjiv Kumar said action will be taken only after 'investigation' into the matter.
According to reports, from the apartment, two trunk-loads of counterfoil strips, which appeared to be the acknowledgement slips of the form used to add names of voters, were also found.
"Nearly 9,746 voter ID cards were found. Five laptops and one printer was also found in the flat," Kumar said while addressing a press conference.
The BJP alleged that the apartment belonged to a Congress MLA.
