Bengaluru, Sep 21, 2022: Stepping up its attack on the ruling BJP, the Karnataka Congress put up “PayCM” posters with Chief Minister Basavraj Bommai’s visage and a QR code on them across Bengaluru on Wednesday.

 

The QR code will take the user to the ’40 per cent Sarkara’ website that was launched by Congress recently for citizens to file complaints against government corruption.

The posters are designed to highlight how 40 per cent commission rate has allegedly become the norm under the current BJP regime.

Last week, the Congress kicked off a campaign to target the state government over alleged corrupt practices. The party has asked citizens of Karnataka to report corruption and register complaints at a designated website -- 40percentsarkara.com.

Senior Karnataka Congress leader Siddaramaiah had earlier called the state administration a “40 per cent sarkar” filled with "looters and scamsters". The Congress said it would continue to question the silence of the government on questions related to corruption raised by the grand old party.

Soon after the matter came to the notice of the authorities, these posters in public places were removed.
