No permit had been issued for the Nagappa mine during the said period, indicating that the ore extracted and despatched was illegally mined.

Corruption charge against a BJP MLA?? If BJP wants to win, and earn public trust / support - in that case they should distance themselves from all tainted / suspected candidates. There is no room for corruption / or unfit candidates in future elections.
