Checking corruption is not an easy task: CM
Bengaluru, June 11: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that he knew that he would not continue for a long time as the CM if he tried to check corruption instantly.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, the CM said that he is taking all steps to control the corruption in a staged manner. “When I have been to Sringeri Mutt, the Swamiji asked me to stop corruption. But I have informed him that it is not so easy to check corruption”, he recalled.
The corruption starts right from the transfer of employees and officials. Corruption is more rampant in Vidhana Soudha. There are some middlemen in the third floor of the Vidhana Soudha and their duty is to get their transfers done. He has already directed the officials to work honestly, he said.
“There is a coalition government in the state and the media has been reporting that the coalition government did not take off in the state. But I don’t have any fear. The JDS-Congress coalition government will complete full five-year term. I don’t know how and who create such stories. Please don’t give false reports. I cannot do politics making my father Deve Gowda idle at home”, he said.
“ I have not come to power to make money. I don’t know how many days I would live. I have undergone surgery two times. I have got the power for people. Because of the blessings of the God and elders, I became Chief Minister. Many people have thought that I would go with the BJP if the circumstances warranted for coalition government. In fact, I have got the offer from the BJP. But, there is a difference between last time and this time”, he said.
