The Dakshina Kannada district Congress on Saturday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) resorted to unfair practices to gain hold of gram panchayats.
DKCC president K. Harish Kumar told reporters here that the BJP that could not face the elections in a straightforward manner resorted to several other methods to threaten candidates supported by the Congress. Issuing threats to Congress-supported candidates, preventing them from filing nomination papers, and luring them with money were some of the tactics used by the BJP to deter the Congress from gaining hold of panchayats, he said.
