Let us know that the political mercury has gone up in Karnataka for alleged involvement in the case of gold smuggling, where the ruling Congress and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are accusing each other of bias and suppressing the case. Harshvardhini Ranya alias Ranya Rao was arrested about a week ago for smuggling gold worth Rs 12 crore from Dubai to India.

BJP made this allegation

The BJP has accused the involvement of an influential minister in saving Ranya, while the Congress retaliated that the main opposition party of the state had allotted 12 acres of land to set up TMT Steel Bar Factory. BJP’s Karnataka unit president BY Vijayendra said in a post released on the social media forum ‘X’ that in recent times, the biggest gold smuggling is not surprising about the media’s news about the involvement of a prominent minister of Siddaramaiah’s government – especially seeing this government’s rapidly growing ‘new’ methods of scams.

The MLA said that the severe violation of the government protocol, which was allegedly successful in smuggling gold worth more than Rs 12 crore, could not be possible without the direct support of influential persons within the government. The BJP state president further said that if these reports are true, then the level of alleged connivance causes serious concern.

Congress leader and State Home Minister G. Parmeshwar said that the investigation is going on and the truth of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will also be revealed. He told reporters here on Monday, “We cannot say anything until the investigation is completed. Neither I nor the government can give any such response. ” Middle and Heavy Industries Minister M.B. Patil retaliated and said that when the BJP was in power, it had allotted 12 acres of land to Ranya Rao’s company in February 2023 to set up a steel plant. (Also from inputs language)
