40% commission culture continuing under Congress regime too, says Karnataka contractors’ association president Kempanna

Karnataka State Contractors’ Association President D. Kempanna has alleged that 40% commission practice is continuing even in the Congress government due to which contractors are suffering.

When BJP government was in power, Mr. Kempanna had alleged that in several departments, contractors had to pay 40% kickback to bag tenders and to get bills cleared. The Congress had then picked up the issue as a major poll plank.

“According to my information, 40% commission culture is still prevalent in the Congress government. When BJP was in power, the MLAs were asking the money and now officials are collecting the cash. However, we do not know whose orders these officials are following,” alleged Mr. Kempanna in a press conference.
