'BJP favouring those involved in criminal activities', alleges Karnataka Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

'There is no politics involved' he said in response to BJP's allegations that Congress is targeting Hindu organisations in the state.

There is no caste or religion when it comes to illegal and criminal activities. The police are acting as per the law, stressed District-in-Charge Minister who is also the minister for health and family welfare Dinesh Gundu Rao.

It is a bad trend that BJP is favouring those who were involved in many criminal activities, he charged. "There is no connection to religion when it comes to crimes. If BJP is supporting them, it means that they are supporting illegal activities," he stressed. "BJP is trying to divert the attention of people and disrupt peace,” Gundu Rao added.
