Now, BBMP contractors make 40% bribe claims

Close on the heels of the state-level contractors’ body and a section of mutt heads levelling bribery allegations against the Karnataka government, the association of BBMP contractors said that their bills are cleared only if they give 40% commission to the powers that be.

They have threatened to go on strike if the government does not clear pending bills of Rs 3,500 crore that have piled up from Nov 2019 under the BBMP fund.

The government allegedly owes the contractors another Rs 300 crore under the Chief Minister’s Amrut Nagarothana scheme.
