The Congress on Tuesday charged that the Basavaraj Bommai-led government in Karnataka had failed on all fronts owing to rampant corruption in administration and it should observe “Brashtachara Utsav” (utsav of corruption) to mark its one year in office.
‘40% commission’
Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah and KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar, in a joint press conference, said that the “double engine” government has not lived up to the expectations of the people and has became well-known for extracting “40% commission” in contract works. Instead of punishing the corrupt officials and Ministers, the government had given clean chit to former Minister K.S. Eshwarappa, they alleged.
