“People are experiencing development in my constituency,let the CM and ministers talk about it in their constituencies”
Hubballi:There is now a pay double CM system in the state and the entire government is plunged in corruption, with payments being distributed,one share to the ministers and another to the CM,alleged former Chief Minister and MP Basavaraj Bommai.
Speaking to the media in Hubballi on Wednesday,he said in the past,baseless accusations were made against him without evidence.Now, there are commission allegations in the excise department.
The finance department is directly under the control of the Chief Minister and he must investigate how much commission is being taken for granting each license.
Bommai said the entire government is drowned in corruption,and every department is overflowing with it.It has reached a stage where even primary and high school teachers are being fixed for monthly commissions,indicating the extent of the corruption.
People are experiencing development
Responding to a question about Congress leaders’ allegations that no development has taken place in the Shiggaon-Savanur constituency, the former CM said that people have experienced the development there.
There is a big difference between the thoughts of Congress leaders and those of the people of Shiggaon. The government is theirs now.
The Shiggaon constituency boasts a 200-bed hospital at the taluk level, a textile park,an Ayurvedic college in Savanur,an ITI college,and more than 12,000 homes constructed during flood situations.
The roads in Shiggaon are better than those in Bengaluru.”Perhaps the CM is dozing off while traveling in his car,”he quipped.
The MP said the entire government has targeted him , but he will speak about the development in his constituency.
Let the Congress ministers and legislators speak about their constituencies,such as Varuna and Chamundeshwari.
No funds have been released for developmental work since this government came to power.When I was the Chief Minister,I allocated Rs.10 crore for the development of dargahs and mosques of minorities, which they later revoked. What right do they have to talk about minority welfare?”
Insult to the Swamiji
Bommai slammed Siddaramaiah and said a Chief Minister speaking disrespectfully about the seer of Kaginele Peetha amounts to insulting him.He is their seer and there is a relationship of devotion between him and them. Out of fear of election defeat,the CM has tried to drag the seer into this.
About the CM’s statement that BJP leaders are making baseless allegations against him in the MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority) case,Bommai pointed out that the High Court has ordered an investigation into the MUDA case.This is the first time a sitting CM is appearing for an investigation.
Referring to the incident in Belagavi,where the assistant of a government department wrote a death note against the personal secretary of women and Child Welfare Minister,Laxmi Hebbalkar,and committed suicide, Bommai said an investigation should be conducted.
Government officials are frustrated due to political pressure,and similar pressure is increasing on government officials in Shiggaon as well.
