While the Opposition Congress has stepped up its campaign against the alleged corruption in the recruitment for various government posts, the party’s Mysuru unit on Saturday released an audio of a purported conversation between a woman police sub-inspector in Mysuru and an aspirant for the post of First Division Assistant (FDA) in Jamkhandi in Bagalkot district.
Releasing the audio at a press conference in Mysuru, KPCC spokesperson M. Lakshmana said he also had evidence to show that the aspirant had digitally transferred an advance amount for the post of FDA. The alleged recruitment scam comes in the wake of the process taken up by Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) for recruitment of 153 FDAs.
Mr. Lakshmana claimed that the police official in Mysuru would not have involved herself in a scam on her own. “Definitely, Ministers and BJP leaders are involved,” he said, while alleging that the BJP leaders had “agencies” like the police official in every district to identify prospective candidates for various government posts and negotiate the bribe on their behalf.
