Alleging that BBMP contractors had complained to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi that those in his party’s government in Karnataka were demanding 65% commission for clearing their pending bills, BJP leader and former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday demanded that Mr. Gandhi intervene and ensure justice if he is against corruption.
The allegation came even as K.T. Manjunath, president, BBMP Working Contractors’ Association, said they had neither complained nor posted on X asking Mr. Gandhi regarding delay in payment of pending bills in the civic body, from the Association. “We are neither aware nor responsible if some individual contractor has done so,” he said.
