Mogarody Constructions, owned by Sudhakar Shetty and located at Kavoor Junction in Mangaluru taluk, and Birwa Centre, a hotel owned by Sanjeev Poojary and  located at Melkar in Bantwal taluk are the two new targets of the I-T department. 

Both Sudhakar Shetty and Sanjeev Poojary reportedly have close links with B Ramanath Rai, who is who is contesting from Congress for eighth time in Bantwal constituency. According to sources, a few Congress leaders had recently held meetings these two places.

The Congress has been accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government of misusing the I-T department to target the ruling party of Karnataka, ahead of the assembly polls.

Mysuru, Jan 19: Karnataka Rural Development and Panchyat Raj Minister K S Eshwarappa on Sunday claimed that Popular Front of India and Social Democratic Party of India have been indulging in anti-national activities.

Talking to media persons here, he said the government is mulling to ban and take action against PFI and its political arm SDPI.

It was recommended even during the previous government, but it was not taken seriously, he added.

He said that the BJP will ensure that all the MLAs who were instrumental in the party coming to power (the then-disqualified MLAs who joined BJP from Congress and JDS recently and won the bypoll subsequently) will not be let down and be given suitable posts in the government.
