1. Corruption has become almost institutionalised, says Karnataka Governor
Expressing serious concern over corruption, Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot on July 3 said it has become almost institutionalised, and the Karnataka government would take administrative and legislative measures to meet the challenge and eradicate it. This is the first Budget session of the Congress government, which fought the Assembly elections on the major poll plank of corruption.
In his address in Hindi to the joint session of both Houses of the State Legislature, he also said in the next five years, the State government would place emphasis on a people-centric economy.
