Haveri: The court has taken note of delay in probing 40 per cent commission charges and this shows that the government treasury is empty. The same thing has been reiterated by the court, said Former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
He told reporters here on Wednesday that the Karnataka High Court had observed inordinate delay being done by the incumbent Congress government to probe 40 per cent commission charges made against the previous BJP government and asked the government to submit the probe report within six weeks. The court has also opined that it would be forced to give orders to the government to release funds as it was buying time to make payment under the garb of commission as the government coffer was empty. The government must set aside it’s shame and wake up.
On the Contractors Association President Kempanna’s U-turn on the commission charges against the Congress government, the BJP leader said he has been saying this due to pressure from the state government. All development works had been completely stopped in the State and it has become development-less government.
Bommai said the government had made the governor to tell lies and claimed the credit for the works done by the previous BJP government. This shows that there has been no development in the State in last eight months. All issues including the Hangal rape issue and the collapse of law and order would be discussed in the session.
Asked about the distribution of tickets for the coming Lok Sabha polls, he said the national executive committee meeting would be held in Delhi on Feb 17, 18 and there after the ticket distribution process would start. Ticket distribution with the Janata Dal (Secular) would also be discussed.
