The BJP in Karnataka on Sunday claimed that the Lokayukta probe has cleared the party's previous government from 40 per cent commission charges, and that the allegations levelled by the Congress against it as completely false.
.he BJP leaders said that it is proved that the 40 per cent commission allegation was part of the Congress' "tool kit". During the 2023 Assembly polls, the then opposition Congress had used the Karnataka State Contractors' Association's allegations of 40 per cent commission charge as a major weapon to corner the then BJP government, which is said to be one among the factors that led to the saffron party's debacle in the election.
