BJP Seeks Sacking of Two Ministers over Congress MLA’s Allegation
Khader said KRIDL did not handle any works in his Mangaluru constituency as a corruption inquiry into alleged extra charges from contractors moved forward.
- On Wednesday, Leader of the Opposition Ashok demanded the government dismiss two Ministers after Congress MLA Ashok Kumar Rai alleged KRIDL engineers collect an extra 7% from contractors for them.
- Critics allege the government runs a "commission raj," estimating around ₹800 crore has been collected so far; only 30% of funds go toward actual work while 70% is siphoned off.
- Panchayat Raj Minister Eshwar Khandre ordered an inquiry into the allegations made by Rai, with Minister Khader stating the probe will bring out the truth regarding KRIDL.
- Khader stated he is unfamiliar with KRIDL's operations because none of the development works in his Mangaluru Assembly constituency are executed by the agency, which carries out projects without floating tenders.
- Ahead of Chief Minister Shivakumar's cabinet meeting in Mangaluru on September 18, Khader is coordinating regional demands while the BJP holds events to raise awareness on drought relief.
