"Whenever Bharatiya Janata Party faces the heat of defeat they try to create violence, rupture and even corruption. Yesterday also a similar act was done in Dubbak by BJP candidate and also by the BJP State President. It was quite evident that the money which was seized by the police came from the relative of Raghunandhan Rao, and the BJP followers snatched away the money which was seized. If it was not Raghunandhan Rao's relative then why did the BJP followers were snatching the money? Why were BJP followers present there? Why was BJP activist present there? " he added.
