The 10-day monsoon session of the Karnataka Legislature, which will get underway on Monday, is expected to be acrimonious, considering that the Opposition is eager to corner the BJP government on handling of rain havoc in Bengaluru and other parts of Karnataka, and on the alleged PSI scam and corruption in contract works.
The session is crucial for all political parties ahead of the next year’s Assembly elections. It is expected to be stormy as the Opposition Congress and JD(S) are keen to expose the Basavaraj Bommai-led government on issues of alleged “40% corruption”, scams in recruitment, and “crumbling” Bengaluru’s infrastructure and rain havoc in districts.
The Opposition parties are likely to raise destruction caused by south-west monsoon to standing crops on thousands of hectares, houses, and public infrastructure. The alleged delay on the part of the authorities to disburse compensation to families affected by rains and floods is expected to be raised.
