Kundapur, Jul 7: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar, condemned the macabre murder of Uday Ganiga by the leaders of his own party, the BJP, at Yadamoge, to settle political scores.

After visiting the house of the late Hosabalu Uday Ganiga, Yadamoge in the taluk on Tuesday July 6 evening, Shivakumar consoled the grieving family members of Ganiga. He then spoke to media persons.

Shivakumar termed murders happening on the basis of party, caste, religion etc as unfortunate. "The BJP leaders used to rush to meet the families whenever murders took place in the undivided Dakshina Kannada district in the past. But in this case, when their own party worker is murdered, the BJP leaders have owned discreet silence. Their silence gives rise to suspicion. Ganiga's wife, mother and family members are praying for justice with tears welling their eyes. They also have been expressing strong suspicion about influential leaders having a hand in the murder. As there have been occasions in the past in which such murder cases were entrusted to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, the government should immediately order CBI probe in this case too," he demanded.

Former minister Vinay Kumar Sorake, expressed suspicion about the inquiry being conducted judicially as the BJP district general secretary is an accused in the case, and the state home minister is the district in-charge minister for Udupi. He said these things have the potential of subverting the investigation, and demanded to order for CBI inquiry immediately and to disburse a compensation of Rs 25 lac to the family of Uday Ganiga.

Uday Ganiga's mother and wife who sobbed and shed copious tears in the presence of the Congress leaders, pleaded with them to see that justice is done to Uday. They also claimed that they are being subjected to pressure, and lures were being offered, to make them step back from pursuing the case. The locals pointed out that MPs Shobha Karandlaje and B Y Raghavendra have not visited the family after Uday's murder. They wanted to know whether these leaders have no sympathy for Ganiga's family.

On this occasion, Shivakumar handed over a cheque amounting to Rs 1.25 lac to the bereaved family on behalf of his party.

Former legislator K Gopal Poojary, district Congress president Ashok Kumar Kodavoor, Congress leaders Mithun Kumar Rai, Kishan Hegde Kolkebail, S Raju Poojary, Gowri Devadiga and others were present.

    Appreciate your actions dk shivakumar even if it was meant as a political propaganda, But what is the point of a cheque of 1.25 lacs, your legal declaration is in excess of 800 crores and god knows how much more you have in black maybe ten times more of your declared wealth. Even a brand new scooter costs close to a lakh due to the hikes and taxes by this jumla government. Please be considerate the next time you issue a cheque as a token of your kindness and please live up to your promises. People have lost hopes in the current government, this is your best chance to come back into power please don't mess it up foolishly , Don't appoint any Tom dick or Harry as a youth president , someone who has been to jail in a case of hooliganism, Please select someone who actually wants to serve the people, You have already amassed enough wealth that even your next 10 generations can just sit at home and eat , now please work for the people , we are hoping to see you correct your past mistakes and come out as a noble man . We are looking forward to your party forming the government in the next elections

    DKS is DK targeting specific hindu communities to split their votes .. BEst of luck .. You need to know to work for the nation .I remember ,when you were the energy Minister there was no Coal in UPCL plant at nandikoor leading to power failures .. This has not happened in the modi regime. Ultimately you go and bow down to the twosome from Italy .. Sonia Maino and Raul Vinci .This is nothing but modern day ghulam giri according to me.

    Statement of DK Shi is laughable because, the slain UDAY GANIGA murder did not happen due to caste. Because MODI, the supreme leader of BJP himself belong to GANIGA community. Absolutely no LOGIC. DK Shi should have told, it is political to get some value for his statement.
