Accusing the BJP of giving communal colour and unnecessarily politicising the Dharmasthala case, Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao said on Sunday that the government is confident of Special Investigation Team’s (SIT) capability in unraveling truth in the case.

Speaking to reporters at a book release function here, Mr. Rao said the BJP was trying to mix religion with politics by holding a convention in Dharmasthala on September 1.
