Contractors stage protest ahead of PM’s visit to K’taka over ‘commissions’
Members of State Contractors Association staged a big protest on Wednesday here ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Karnataka visit on Thursday, alleging harassment by the BJP ministers for commission and demanding release of their pending bills amounting to Rs 25,000 crore.
Thousands of contractors from across the state have slammed the ruling BJP over “40 per cent commission”, saying that they are staging symbolic protests to send a warning signal to the government.
If the pending bills are not cleared by the end of this month, contractors will stop all work in the state and stage a protest, the agitating contractors warned.
