Bolstered by the report of a state government panel that there was no financial misappropriation in white-topping roadworks during its rule, the Congress on Monday tried to turn the tables on the BJP.
Abdul Wajid, the opposition leader in the BBMP, held a press conference to lap up the report submitted by a five-member committee headed by Captain R R Doddihal. B S Yediyurappa had formed the committee on August 22, weeks after taking office as chief minister. The committee’s brief was to investigate the allegations of corruption in the white-topping and TenderSURE roadworks under phases 1 and 2 during the tenures of Siddaramaiah and H D Kumaraswamy as chief minister, respectively.
