Bangalore, Jan 29: The Lokayukta police conducted a raid on the office of the BJP MLA from KGF, Kolar Y Sampangi today. They reportedly caught him while receiving bribe for the purpose of  covering up a criminal case.

The raid was conducted on the MLA's office located in the Legislators Home here in the afternoon. He is said to have been receiving money from a person named Farooq when the Lokayukta police raided his office. The MLA was arrested under the Anti-corruption Act.

In the meanwhile, state  Congress committee  working presidnt D K Shivkumar condemned the legislator for using Legislators Home for his immoral activities. "This is a shameful act. The BJP should own moral responsibility for the act of one of its legislators," he stated.

Lokayukta Justice N Santosh Hegde confirmed, that the Lokayukta will continue to conduct raids if specific information about corrupt practices are made available. He said, that the Lokayukta will work to stem the corrupt practices of political functionaries and felt that it is for the people to react to such practices.

    Nabbing a MLA on corruption charge by Lok Ayukta has obviously made news. Because so far only corrupt officials were caught. Even though Lok Ayukta Act gives power to trap corrupt MLAs as they are also public servants, they were not touched. But present Lok Ayukta Justice Santosh Hegde took bold decision to trap a MLA on corrutpion charges. Congratulations Justice Hegdeji, keep it up.

    Dear Thimmappa, you cannot blame the party for the individual act of an MLA, just think about the past, how congress ruled for a long time under the leadership of the great Mrs Indira Gandhi
