Mysuru: Accusing the Congress of raking up fake diary issue in a bid to discredit State BJP Chief B.S. Yeddyurappa in the run up to the Lok Sabha polls, BJP spokesperson and former MLC G. Madhusudan said that the statement by the Income Tax Department (I-T) on the diary case, is a slap on the face of the Congress.
Addressing a hurriedly called press meet at the BJP office here last night, Madhusudan lashed out at AICC leader Surjewala for releasing the ‘fake diary’ at a press meet in Delhi, which the Congress claims is signed by Yeddyurappa after making payments to top BJP leaders and the party to the tune of Rs. 1,800 crores. But the I-T Department officials have said that the diary was a fake one and there was no such diary with the I-T Department for investigation.
