New Delhi, Mar 22: The Congress high command is not happy with the Siddaramaiah government's decision to set up the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

siddaramaiahAccording to a senior Congress leader, the high command is of the view that the move is against public opinion, especially civil society - which consider setting up ACB as a diversionary tactics helping those facing corruption charges.

“An opinion is being created that by setting up the ACB, the State government is trying to shield corrupt politicians and bureaucrats,” a senior party leader told Deccan Herald.

With a number of cases pending against politicians, including several ministers with the Lokayukta, the government's move would create confusion in the minds of public.

Instead of the ACB, the government should have taken corrective measures if there were deficiencies in the functioning of the Lokayukta, the leader added. The party's image, dented over chief minister's watch row, will take a further beating, he said.

Even senior party leaders in the State have already expressed their views against the decision, he added.

Timing

The high command is worried about the timing of the move and the party's efforts to defend action. With elections to five Assemblies announced, the Opposition could rake up the issue and corner the party on corruption issue.

The incident took place at Mukrampady village in Puttur a few days ago. According to sources, a team belonging to an organisation from Mangaluru had visited the village with a letter from their organisation, to distribute grocery kits to families near mosques in the month of Ramadan. 

The team members reportedly insisted the beneficiaries to pose for pictures with the team near a mosque while being given the food kit. The villagers refused to fulfil their wish.

The organisation members then left the place without handing over the Ramadan kits, sources said.
