The Congress government in Karnataka has been caught in a storm of corruption allegations from the BJP over the contents of a diary allegedly seized by the Income Tax department in March 2016 from the house of a Congress lawmaker. State BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa has claimed that the diary contained "explosive" information about money paid to top Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Digvijaya Singh and party treasurer Motilal Vohra. The pages of the diary, he said, conveyed such information through abbreviated initials.
