Bengaluru, Sept 19: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday outrightly rejected allegations that the Central agencies were misused to harass Congress or Janata Dal (Secular) leaders.

"I don't think, it is the job of CBI or ED to harass people. I don't think such things happen. People should stop making such accusations. It is not good. Aren't we all sitting together or not?" said Singh pointing to Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy who was sitting next to him.

Speaking to reporters after presiding over the Southern Zonal Council Meeting here, he said that Congress and the JD(S) have been charging the NDA Government headed by Narendra Modi of using the central agencies such as CBI, Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax department to harass Minister and senior Congress leader DK Shivakumar for taking on the BJP time and again.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday admitted in the legislative assembly that corruption was deep-rooted in government offices and held transfer racket as the root cause of the graft menace.

“Unless we root it out from the system, we can never uphold the spirit of the Constitution and ensure equitable justice to people. If legislators lend support (to this cause), then we can weed out this menace,” Yediyurappa said during a special discussion on the Constitution.

Successive governments have been accused by opposition parties of running a transfer racket, but there’s very little done to institute a probe or order a crackdown following the allegations.

The chief minister’s candid admission came after senior Congress MLA HK Patil, quoting a report from Amnesty International, said 63% of people in Karnataka give bribe to get their work done in government offices. The CM said he agreed with the report in toto.
