8% commission being sought from contractors to clear pending bills in Karnataka, alleges Yediyurappa

Bangalore, 9/11: Veteran BJP leader B S Yediyurappa on Thursday said his party will hold a three-day protest in the city, probably by the end of this month, condemning the ‘policies’ of the Congress government in Karnataka and its style of functioning.

The former chief minister also claimed that none of the contractors are coming forward to take up development work in the state, as those in government are not making timely payments to them. They are seeking 7.5-8 per cent commission from them for clearing.
