While Krishnegowda alleged that there is a deep political conspiracy behind the attack, the police ruled out the theory stating that it's a work of a frustrated party worker.
Asnotikar who has been elected from Karwar assembly constituency was given the Ministry of Fisheries by the BJP led government. He later rebelled to join hands with JD(S) alleging that he decided to end the corrupt BJP rule.
