Why it matters
Allegations of corruption in public service recruitment processes undermine public trust in government institutions and democratic governance.
Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, expelled BJP MLA, has alleged that B.S. Yediyurappa, former Chief Minister, had accepted bribes from Shivashankarappa S. Sahukar, to appoint the latter as chairman of the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC).
“Mr. Yediyurappa not only appointed him as he was his relative, but also took money from him. Who knows how many hundred crores he took,’’ Mr. Yatnal told reporters in Vijayapura on Wednesday (July 29).
Mr. Yatnal alleged that the KPSC chairman and members had made over ₹300 crore in appointments. He demanded that the State government probe all the appointments of government employees made by Mr. Sahukar in various departments.
