Bengaluru on August 22 : In a humiliating incident for the ruling Karnataka BJP The State Contractors Association has decided to send an open letter to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi reminding him about his pledge to fight corruption.The Association had sent an open note to the Prime Minister accusing him of corruption rampant in the BJP government before, when Ministers and MLAs of the ruling party were earning 40% commissions in all contracts awarded to the government.
It was reported that even after several months the PM Modi has not taken any initiative in this direction and is now decided to send him a second letter and remind him of the allegations that were previously made against the ruling party.
Kempanna, president of the State Contractors’ Association has stated that it has been more than three months since the letters were sent to Prime Minister Modi.
“On August 15 the 15th of August, PM Modi announced that he would rid the country of corruption.The Association is set to communicate the PM Modi to resolve the problem of corruption in states that are ruled by the BJP first and we are prepared to prove this,” he stated.
Kempanna has questioned why PM Modi remains silent on the massive corruption in Karnataka and claimed that PWD, Health and Family Welfare, Irrigation, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj and other Departments bills are approved to contractors after paying to the officers and ministers responsible.
He said that the Association, in its letter to the PM, will provide information along with evidence of corruption.
The PM must at the very least start taking actions, Kempanna said.
