elease of Gruha Lakshmi money,political corruption using government money,Bommai alleged.
Haveri (Shiggaon):Former Chief Minister and MP Basavaraj Bommai alleged that depositing Rs.2,000 into women’s accounts under the Gruha Lakshmi scheme ahead of every election is a clear violation of the code of conduct and demanded the Election Commission to stop it forthwith.
In a press statement here on Tuesday,he said the elections should be conducted in a free and fair manner but the state government for using public funds to serve its political interests before each election,which is highly condemnable.
The MP accused the Election Commission and the district officials in Haveri of turning a blind eye to this issue,and wanted immediate action to stop it.
It is clear government funds are being misused for election purposes.
He pointed out that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah,who often speaks about democracy and the Constitution, is allowing the entire government to engage in political corruption using public money.
However,the people of the Shiggaon-Savanur constituency will not to fall for any incentives or inducements,but to recognize the ongoing development in the region and to cast their votes without changing the decision they have already made.
