Siddaramaiah's percentage government': HD Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru: Backing PM Narendra Modi's charge on Congress that the ruling Congress was heading a 10 percent government, JD(S) chief H.D. Kumaraswamy stated said he had actually miscalculated the percentage. It is not 10% but higher.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday he attacked BJP as well, saying "the "commission" for projects was 10 percent during the last BJP government in the state, but is higher now".
"Every kilometer of road construction is costing over Rs 38 crore, and no one knows if gold or silver is being used to build them. The water resources department is meanwhile awarding piece contracts to accommodate contractors from neighboring states," he said.
"To get more commission, the government is rolling out red carpets only for the contractors from other states and putting down local contractors. Ministers like Dr. H C Mahadevappa and M B Patil and the Chief Minister need to explain this," he asked.
