As the political slugfest continues after the police recovered voter ID cards from a flat in Rajeshwari Nagar constituency, the flat owner has said that she belongs to BJP, even as the saffron party accused the Congress behind the racket.

Last night, 9,746 voter ID cards were found from a flat in SLV Park View Apartment in Bengaluru's Jalahalli locality, and the Election Commission's revelation of the same at midnight was followed by political sparring, as both BJP and Congress alleged the other's links with the concerned flat.

The Congress and BJP have been levelling the allegations at each other as Karnataka will go to polls on May 12 to elect representatives to the 224-seat assembly. The results will be declared on May 15.

The congress has alleged that a flat owner was associated with the BJP and her son Rakesh had contested the municipal corporation election on a BJP ticket.

However, the flat owner Manjula Nanjamari claimed that the property was not rented by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporter Rakesh.

The BJP, on the other hand, is demanding countermanding of polls in the Raja Rajeshwari Nagar constituency after thousands of "fake" voter identity cards were recovered from a flat there.
