Plaint against BJP leaders for building makeshift helipad for Shah

A farmer from Ilkal in the district, on Saturday, lodged a police complaint against the local BJP leaders for damaging the farm bund while constructing a makeshift helipad for the landing of BJP national president Amit Shah's chopper.

Jagadish Karadi, in his complaint lodged with Ilkal police, stated that the BJP men have not taken permission to construct the makeshift helipad at his farm on Uchanuru Road. When questioned, they abused me and threatened me with dire consequences.

Amit Shah addressed a public rally in Ilkal on Saturday.
