DK Shivakumars gift is the main reason behind the raid

The gifts to MLAs has cost Energy Minister DK Shivakumar dearly, and as a result, his house is being raided.

DK Sivakumar had taken charge of taking care of the 44 MLAs from Gujarat who are being 'saved' by the Congress from joining the BJP. They have been staying in the Eagleton Resort, where each room costs Rs 7,500, it is said that all their expenses are being borne by Shivakumar himself.

In addition, today was the day chosen by Shivakumar to give individual gifts to the Gujarat MLAs.Even the MLAs had no clue what gifts were being presented to them. All this was arranged by DK Shivakumar.

But the Income Tax Departme nt had got a tip off on this and raided the Eagleton resort just before the gifts were distributed among the MLAs. Thus, instead of gift the MLAs and DK Shivakumar has got a shock.

It was said that the IT department was planning a raid three days ago when MLAs were brought to the Eagleton Resort. But the news of gift made them wait as they wanted to seize something concrete.

The Congress party brought the MLAs to the resort in time (before more people resigned to join BJP) but the BJP was also in time by tipping off the IT department of the costly gift being planned to be distributed in the resort today.

The Congress has said that it is a desperate measure by the BJP to dishearten the Congress MLAs. BJP has hit back at the Congress saying the raid has nothing to do with Gujarat MLAs being holed up in the resort.
