The Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Tuesday defended his cabinet colleague Priyank Kharge, embroiled in a controversy over a contractor's suicide, saying the BJP was making allegations without evidence.
The home minister also hoped that the truth would come out from the CID probe.
The contractor has left behind a seven-page note in which he made allegations against a person, who is said to be Kharge's aide.
BJP has demanded that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should ask Priyank Kharge to resign immediately, and has set a January 4 deadline to hand over the case to the CBI, failing which the party has threatened to lay siege to the Minister's residence after organising a huge rally in Kalaburagi.
"Priyank Kharge himself has clarified that he has no role in it and has nothing to do with it. He said that his name was not there in the suicide note.
