Referring to media reports that recently unearthed what he said corruption and irregularities in the implementation of welfare programmes and development projects in the State, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D.K. Shivakumar has said that the State has risen to the top position in terms of corruption in the country.
“A media house in the State is publishing reports unearthing corruption and irregularities in the State on a daily basis. The State has emerged as the most corrupt in the country and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should give an award to the State Government for its achievement,” Mr. Shivakumar said, sarcastically.
He was speaking to media representatives in Kalaburagi on Tuesday before taking part in his party’s digital membership drive.
