CoD probe ordered into garbage scam
A CoD enquiry will be held into the Rs 254-crore garbage contract scam in BBMP, the government announced in the Legislative Council on Thursday. It also said that the BBMP commissioner will hold a departmental inquiry and take steps for the recovery of the money from officials who have been named in the report submitted by Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force.
Opposition leader V S Ugrappa accused the government of shielding the officials involved in the scam.A furious Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa thundered that the contractors against whom the Opposition wanted the government to act against were “protected” by their political masters during the years when they were looting the BBMP and the public.
The ruling benches erupted noting that the irregularities took place not in their time but during the tenure of the previous governments — over the last seven years.
Bangalore city incharge Minister R Ashok joined in, saying that bringing in outsiders as contractors for garbage clearance in the city was the handiwork of the Congress government of the early 1990s.
Trying to reason out the consequences of blacklisting the contractors, as demanded by the Opposition, the CM asked them to mull over what would happen if garbage collection in Bangalore was disrupted for a three-day stretch.
“You (Opposition) cannot tell the government what to do,” the CM said.
