BJP misusing agencies: Karnataka CM slams ED raids on PWD minister

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's deputy, DK Shivakumar, has accused the BJP of misusing central agencies after the Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at 18 locations linked to Public Works Department Minister Jarkiholi, his daughter Priyanka, and brother-in-law Y Manjunath. The raids are part of a separate money laundering investigation.

Shivakumar alleged that the ruling BJP at the Centre is weaponising investigative agencies against political opponents. The ED action comes amid ongoing political tensions between the state government and the opposition.
