Expressing concerns over the ill-effects that illegal recruitments could have on governance, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha M. Mallikarjun Kharge asked Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to take the PSI recruitment scam seriously and ensure an impartial investigation.
“Mr. Bommai should take the case seriously and stop such [illegal] recruitment. Otherwise, it would be harmful to the next generation. Only those who have money would get government jobs, and the poor would be deprived of their rights. What is the use of getting Special Status to the Kalyana Karnataka region if only rich candidates get selected for government jobs? The CID should investigate the case impartially. Otherwise, it would be a problem for them also in future,” Mr. Kharge said during an interaction with mediapersons in Kalaburagi on April 28.
When asked about BJP’s allegation of the involvement of Congress leaders in the scam, the veteran Congressman asked the CID to bring all culprits, irrespective of their political affiliations, to a court of justice.
