Former Minister and Koppal District Congress president Shivaraj Tangadagi on Monday alleged that the BJP government was shielding Kanakagiri MLA Basavaraj Dhadesugur even after an audio clip in which the MLA was heard admitting to have accepted ₹15 lakh for getting a Police Sub Inspector’s (PSI) post to a candidate went viral.
He alleged that 15 candidates in Kanakagiri paid bribes for getting the PSI job. Mr. Thangadagi warned that he would undertake a padayatra from Kanakagiri to Bengaluru demanding the arrest of Mr. Dhadesugur.
Many candidates who paid bribes to the government were scared of coming to the media and were informing the public about the level of corruption in PSI recruitment, Mr. Thangadagi told presspersons here.
