Minister for Excise K. Gopalaiah has challenged the Congress leaders and the contractors to prove their allegations of corruption against the State government.
“Instead of making wild allegations, the politicians should come out with evidence and the contractors should declare to whom they paid the bribe,” he told journalists in Hassan on Monday.
Mr. Gopalaiah said the Congress leaders were engaged in tarnishing the image of the government by making false allegations. “They have no proof to show. We are ready to face an inquiry,” he said.
