Taking on the BJP-led government in Karnataka over alleged corruption, Chairman of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) campaign committee and former minister M.B. Patil said that the people of Karnataka has decided to uproot the BJP and the party would struggle to cross 50 seats in the coming Assembly polls.
Addressing press persons before launching his first leg of the 22-day campaign in Kalaburagi on Friday. Mr. Patil said that the corruption in the State as well as in the Centre was at an all-time high.
Despite multiple complaints made by Karnataka State Contractors Association’s to the Prime Minister’s office alleging that ministers and MLAs were demanding 40% of the project cost as commission, the Centre had not ordered any probe against the BJP leaders in the State, Mr. Patil said.
