Karnataka Congress seeks CBI probe into Ram Mandir donation embezzlement case

BENGALURU: The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), at its general body meeting held in Bengaluru on Tuesday, passed a series of resolutions, including demand for CBI probe into the Ram Mandir donation row. In its resolution, the KPCC alleged irregularities in the functioning of the Trust constituted for the Ram Mandir and claimed that accounts for the donations collected had not been properly maintained.

The resolution demanded the constitution of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to identify and punish those responsible, a CBI investigation into the matter, and sought the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, alleging they should take moral responsibility.

In another resolution, the KPCC urged the Centre to release Rs 10,000 crore as special drought relief assistance to Karnataka, citing deficient southwest monsoon rainfall, poor sowing, drying reservoirs, drinking water scarcity, fodder shortage, unemployment and migration in several regions of the state.
