Amidst a raging controversy over the allegations of contractors that they need to give 40% commission to get bills cleared, a seer has alleged that even Mutts have to pay 30% commission to get the funds earmarked for them.
Fakir Dingaleshwar Swami, seer of Shirahatti Mutt, made the allegation in Bagalkot on Monday.
“Corruption in the Government has grown by leaps and bounds. Even Mutts are forced to pay 30% commission to ensure release of grants”, he said while speaking at the Krishna Mahadayi Navali Sankalpa Yatre organised by Uttara Karnataka Swabhimani Vedike in Badangadi village near Bilagi in Bagalkot district.
