Kumaraswamy flashes pen drive, says he will expose corruption in Congress govt
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday claimed that he has evidence pertaining to allegations of corruption against the Congress government in the state which he will share at the “right time”.
The Janata Dal (Secular) leader told reporters that he is roaming with a pen drive in his pocket which has audio evidence of the state government’s corruption in transfers in the Energy department. He further highlighted that a “responsible minister” from the current cabinet is also involved.
The former CM mentioned that cash-for-transfer has become the sixth promise of the ruling party in the state. He asserted that ₹10 crore is being charged for each transfer in the state’s energy department. “One of the transferred officers earns a staggering ₹50 lakh per day,” he further claimed.
Furthermore, Kumaraswamy shared that he has proof and he will not release the evidence without solid information.
“Kannadigas had thought CMO was Chief Minister’s Office. They have now understood that this has now become corruption management office,” Kumaraswamy tweeted taking a dig at the grand-old party.
