KPSC ‘scam’: Priyank Kharge offers to quit politics even if there is iota of evidence against him
He challenges Kumaraswamy to quit if BJP or JD(S) leaders are involved in the ‘scam
Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has accused Home Minister Priyank Kharge of being involved in a KPSC recruitment scam. He alleged that KPSC Assistant Executive Engineers were appointed improperly when Kharge was heading the RDPR Department under the Siddaramaiah government. Kumaraswamy demanded that Kharge provide documents proving his involvement or resign from politics.
In response, Kharge challenged Kumaraswamy to provide evidence and claimed that if found guilty, both he and his family would cease involvement in politics. He also questioned the authority of the five-member committee set up by the KPSC to investigate the irregularities, stating that the report blames the examination wing and not the government.
Kharge further criticized Kumaraswamy for not speaking about the former KPSC chairman Shivashankarappa S. Sahukar, who was appointed by former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa.
