Karnataka's BJP MLA G Janardhana Reddy has launched a fierce accusation against Congress MP Sasikanth Senthil, alleging that Senthil orchestrated a propaganda campaign against the temple town of Dharmasthala.

Reddy's claims come amidst an investigation into allegations of mass murders and illegal burials in Dharmasthala, which have surfaced over the past two decades. The state government has formed a Special Investigation Team to delve into these serious allegations, and forensic results are eagerly awaited.

Reddy insists that Senthil, a former IAS officer, has a history of opposing Hindu interests and challenged him to face an inquiry to clarify his involvement in the purported propaganda.
