As the Congress government has started clearing pending bills of contractors for the last five-and-a-half months, the Karnataka State Contractors’ Association office-bearers on Saturday met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and complained to him about “harassment” faced by contractors at the hands of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner and the BBMP Chief Engineer.
Speaking to reporters on the outcome of the meeting with the Chief Minister, association president D. Kempanna said, “We have complained about the bad conduct of the BBMP officials. We have complained to the Chief Minister that the BBMP Commissioner and the Chief Engineer harass contractors seeking money.”
Mr. Siddaramaiah assured the association that he would summon BBMP officials and speak to them on the matter, Mr. Kempanna said.
