BJP MLC alleges corruption of crores of rupees in police transfers by state govt
Bengaluru: Labelling serious allegations of corruption against the Karnataka government, its own MLC member TM Muniraju Gowda has said that the police transfers in the state are scammed.
Speaking in the Council on Tuesday he added that every police transfer in the state yields lakhs and crores of rupees.
“Every police transfer in the state costs from Rs. 10 lakh to crores of rupees. Police co-operate with the anti-social elements as they have already paid a huge amount for their transfer. To get back that money they are making favors to the anti-social elements.” he said.
“The cops who should be maintaining law and order in the state including the Bengaluru city are paying huge sums of money and are getting transferred to places of their choices. How can we expect transparent governance from such police officers?” he questioned.
Senior Congress leader CM Ibrahim lauded Gowda for bringing up the issue in the Council. Leader of Council for the government Kota Srinivas Poojary also assured that he would seek a response from the Home Minister.

AIADMK leader denies reports of Palaniswami's proposed meeting with TN Guv
Chennai (PTI): Senior AIADMK leader S Semmalai on Thursday ruled out that his party general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami would be meeting Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar amid the political uncertainty post Tamil Nadu Assembly polls.
There were some reports that Palaniswami is likely to meet the governor to discuss the possibility of forming a government after providing support to TVK, which has 108 seats.
Denying the reports, Semmalai told reporters that "there is no such need". The AIADMK has not received any invitation from TVK, written or oral, seeking support to form government in the state, the former minister said.
To a question whether the AIADMK would support any invitation extended by the TVK, Semmalai said that decision will be taken by Palaniswami.
"Our leader will decide. He is not a king maker. He is the king", he added.
Vijay is making efforts to cobble up support to form his maiden government after his TVK emerged as the single largest party post the April 23 polls, the results of which were announced on Monday.
TVK won 108 seats, 10 short of the simple majority in the 234-member House to form government. The Congress, with five MLAs, has extended support to the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.
