The Karnataka State Contractors’ Association (KSCA) on Thursday said that it was willing to submit documents to a judicial commission instead of the Lokayukta to prevent “harassment to its members”, even as the Congress asked why the government was not willing to announce a judicial inquiry if it had nothing to hide.
The association, which is expected to appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the second time seeking his intervention to curb corruption in public works, is seeking its executive committee’s nod for the letter next week, as the office-bearers have agreed to the move.
“We will submit all the documents to prove our allegations to a judicial commission since the Lokayukta has officials from the State government. There are possibilities that the contractors could be targeted if complaint is made to the Lokayukta,” KSCA president D. Kempanna told The Hindu.
