Bengaluru: The Karnataka State Contractors Association (KSCA) has said in writing that corruption in several departments under the ruling Congress has “doubled” compared with the previous BJP regime, a sensational charge that could become a setback for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s government.

The KSCA conveyed this in a letter to Siddaramaiah, detailing corrupt practices taking place in the government.

“When you were leader of the opposition, you told us that after you came to power, no commission (kickback) would be sought by your government to clear pending bills. We regret to inform you that the commission has doubled now compared with the previous government,” the KSCA stated in a letter signed by its president R Manjunath and general secretary G M Ravindra.
