The Karnataka government has set up a committee headed by retired High Court judge H.N. Nagamohan Das to probe the “40% commission” allegation levelled by the Karnataka State Contractors’ Association during the previous BJP regime. The committee has been asked to submit the report in 30 days.
This order comes at a time when the State government led by the Congress and contractors have been engaged in a face-off over clearance of pending bills in various departments. In some departments, bills are pending from the last three years.
