Former Minister and JD(S) leader H.D.Revanna has demanded an investigation into alleged corruption in awarding contracts of work, as complained by the association of contractors.
Speaking to presspersons in Hassan on Friday, Mr. Revanna said the president of the contractors’ association had alleged that officers and elected representatives had been taking 40% of the project cost as a bribe. The association president had written to the Prime Minister. The Congress had also complained to the Governor on this issue. The government should probe the issue and bring out the truth, he said.
Many contractors had not been able to get their dues after completing their works. They would not get the money unless they paid bribes in advance. “They have to pay up to 40% of the project cost as a bribe to get their bills cleared”, he said.
