The BJP government has brought disrespect to the State by indulging in large-scale corruption, alleged Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President D.K.Shivakumar. He was addressing a rally of the party in Shivamogga on Tuesday.
The people have a responsibility to bring back the past glory of the State by removing the BJP from power. The youths had lost hopes of getting jobs as corruption had been rampant in recruitment. “The government has set a price for each post. The people in power are taking commission in every development work”, he said.
Referring to the resignation of RDPR Minister K.S. Eshwarappa over allegations of corruption, Mr. Shivakumar said a contractor committed suicide blaming the Minister for his decision. The Chief Minister and Home Minister had been protecting the accused in the case. “We staged protests seeking legal action against Mr. Eshwarappa. As per the law, the government should have booked the case for corruption”, he said.
