CM receives report on Karnataka 40 pc Commission allegations

Bengaluru, Mar 13 (UNI) The Justice HN Nagamohan Das Commission, constituted to investigate the '40% commission' allegations against the previous BJP administration in Karnataka, submitted its extensive 20,000-page report to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday.
The '40% commission' controversy played a crucial role in the Congress party’s campaign during the 2023 Karnataka Assembly elections, ultimately contributing to its victory. The Karnataka State Contractors’ Association had alleged that commissions exceeding 40% were being demanded in government tenders, prompting demands for an in-depth inquiry.
The association sought a probe into multiple aspects of government contracting, including the abandonment of the package system, fixation of the Schedule of Rates (SR) list, implementation of the star rate system, transparency in tendering, bill payments based on seniority, and the direct award of works to contractors through the Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (KRIDL).
