In the wake of Karnataka State Contractors’ Association’s allegations about 40% commission in government contracts, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai asked them to file a complaint with the Lokayukta to probe the matter.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru on August 24, Mr. Bommai said there is no truth in the allegation, and urged the association to submit a petition to the anti-corruption watchdog to probe the charge of corruption.
The opposition Congress has been seeking a probe by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court into allegations by Karnataka State Contractors’ Association of demand of up to 40% of the project cost as bribe by government officers and elected representatives.
