President of the Gadag District Contractors Association Vishwanath Patil has said that the allegations against the MLA are false. Meanwhile, BJP leaders have said that district in-charge Minister H.K. Patil and other Congress leaders like Krishnagouda Patil are behind the conspiracy to get Dr. Lamani arrested. It is not acceptable,” BJP leaders Basavaraj Chakrasali and Fakiresh Rattihali said in a media conference.
