I-T raids: D.K. Shivakumar calls it political vendetta; BJP says money was ‘commission’ meant to fund Telangana polls

The Hindu  

Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday claimed that the Income Tax searches in Bengaluru on the residences of contractors, who had alleged 40% commission in contracts during the previous BJP rule, were “politically motivated”. This drew a sharp reaction from the Opposition that claimed the money seized was “commission” taken from contractors meant to fund the Assembly election campaign in Telangana and four other States. Reacting sharply, the Opposition BJP and JD alleged that the money recovered was the “commission” amount that was collected by the Congress government from BBMP contractors for releasing their dues. “The fact that Mr. Shivakumar, who had put a break on the release of contractors’ dues, agreed to release ₹650 crore to them after several rounds of talks with the contractors’ association and that ₹42 crore was unearthed from the IT raid close on the heels of such a release is a strong evidence to show that the Congress government had collected commission from the BBMP contractors to release their dues,” he argued.
