The BJP has urged the Election Commission of India to disqualify Congress MP from Ballari, E. Tukaram, in the wake of a charge sheet by the Enforcement Directorate with respect to alleged irregularities in Karnataka Valmiki ST Development Corporation stating that ₹21 crore siphoned off from the corporation was spent on the Lok Sabha election in Ballari.
Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru on September 10, BJP MLC N. Ravikumar alleged that it had now become clear that a part of the money siphoned off from the corporation had been spent on the Lok Sabha polls in Ballari by the ruling Congress.
