NDTV
The text, suggested the Citizen Enquiry Council, should read: "No one needs to pay me a bribe. I will not be a corrupt officer". The Principal Secretary has forwarded it to departments asking them to take action.
Congress's Siddaramaiah today took the corruption allegations against the state's BJP government to the next level, slamming it over a proposed pledge to end the alleged bribery culture in government offices. The Basavaraj Bommai government has received a proposal from a citizens' group that suggests that all government officials have a board in their rooms to vouch for their honesty. Don't try to shift the blame on the bureaucrats & officers. The contractors have pointed towards the ministers & not the officers.Initiate a judicial investigation on the 40% corruption allegation on the ministers, before staging the drama of putting the anti-graft boards. Mr @BSBommai,Instead of putting up anti-graft boards in front of the govt offices, make it mandatory to install CCTVs in the offices. Take action against the corrupt officers immediately when there are complaints from the aggrieved citizens.#40PercentSarkara
The text, suggested the Citizen Enquiry Council, should read, "No one needs to pay me a bribe. I will not be a corrupt officer", the Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister has written in a letter.
Chief Minister Bommai, Mr Siddaramaiah said in a series of tweets, should nail such a board in front of his house first.
"As per the reports, the @BJP4Karnataka govt will now ask every govt office to put the board which says, "No one needs to pay me a bribe. I will not be a corrupt officer". Mr @BSBommai, first put the board in front of your ministers' & your house," read one of his tweets.
