CM Bommai’s media advisor bribed journalists; complaint filed

October 29, 2022, 3:55 pm

The media adviser to Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai was accused of trying to bribe journalists for a number of media outlets “under the guise of a Deepawali gift,” according to a complaint made to the Karnataka Lokayukta by the anti-corruption organisation Janaadhikaara Sangharsha Parishath.

The complainant wants the Karnataka Lokayukta Police’s ADGP to direct an investigation into an alleged monetary gift provided to reporters, editors, and journalists of the channels and periodicals.

According to the complaint, CM Bommai through his media advisor, Shankar Pagoji, has tried to bribe journalists recently.

“Information about a complaint submitted to ADGP, Karnataka Lokayukta Police, Bangalore against the Chief Minister of Karnataka for payment of bribes to chief reporters of several media houses in disguise of Deepawali gifts, through his media coordinator Shankar Pagoji for Criminal Offence of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1088, Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018 and relevant provisions of any other law,” stated the complaint.

In the meantime, the Congress called for a judicial investigation into the alleged cash gift issue against the Basavaraj Bommai-led BJP government on Friday.

In its official Twitter account, the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) questioned the source of the “money” the government was using illegally.

KPCC tweeted, “There should be a judicial inquiry into the Chief Minister’s office ‘sweet box bribe’ to journalists. Is that misuse of public tax money? What is the source of the money? How much bribes have been paid? How many received bribes? How many (journalists) returned?”

“We did not simply campaign against Bommai as PayCM. This government is receiving bribes, and giving bribes. All bribes are routed through PayCM. The government is trying to hush up scams by purchasing media outlets just like the government came to power by purchasing MLAs,” claimed the KPCC in another tweet.

In September, the Congress started the “PayCM” campaign, accusing the BJP for corruption in the state.

Jairam Ramesh and Randeep Singh Surjewala, two additional Congress leaders, also asked the administration for an explanation over the alleged journalist bribery case.

Surjewala tweeted, “The #40PercentSarkar seeks to bribe the journalists with ₹1 Lakh cash! Will Mr. Bommai answer – 1. Isn’t it “bribe” being offered by CM? 2. What is the source of ₹1,00,000? Has it come from Public Exchequer or from CM himself? 3. Will ED/IT take note?”

Woman dies in Pothole related accident in Bengaluru

October 18, 2022, 4:13 pm

A 50-year-old woman who was seriously injured after falling off a scooter and being hit by a bus in Rajajinagar on Monday passed away at a hospital late at night in another case of Bengaluru’s pothole-filled roads taking life.

When they were attempting to dodge a pothole on the Vatal Nagaraj Road near Lulu Mall, Umadevi was riding pillion with her daughter Vanitha S, 28, when a Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus knocked down their scooter. Umadevi was admitted to the intensive care unit at the ESIC hospital in Rajajinagar after the accident caused major head and leg injuries.

The incident also drew the attention of the chief minister, Basavaraj Bommai, who promised swift action and directed the police to begin an investigation on Tuesday.

“I have given instructions, corporation (BBMP) commissioner also met. What has happened there (pothole) and repairing it is one part… I have also asked police to inquire into the reasons for the death, the complaint received and report back. Once the report comes, I have directed officials to take action against the guilty,” he said.

After several fatalities linked to potholes this year, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), in charge of providing facilities and infrastructure in the capital of Karnataka, has once again come under fire for civic apathy.

Supreeth J, 44, was killed in an accident involving his two-wheeler on the way to work in August, and Ashwin, a tech worker in Haveri, 27, was killed in an accident involving a pothole that the city’s civic organisations had excavated in March. Both men were their families’ sole providers of income.

Residents and users of the internet were outraged by these previous incidents, which even prompted the Karnataka High Court to summon and question BBMP officials about them several times. Although in September the High Court ordered the BBMP to repair potholes on major roads in Bengaluru within ten days, it is unclear if the order has been followed.

Talking to reporters on Thursday, the CM said, “I will collect information from the senior forest officers within half an hour to examine whether it is possible to treat the injured baby elephant. I will respond to Gandhi’s letter and do whatever possible on humanitarian grounds. Elephants have their habitats, will look into what extent human interference can happen and will verify on how treatment can be given.”

The Congress MP wrote to Bommai a day ago, pleading for his help in getting prompt medical attention for a critically injured elephant calf at the Nagarhole Tiger Reserve. He claimed that when visiting the Reserve with his mother and interim Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, they stumbled across the injured calf. Nagarahole spans 847.981 sq km and is located in Mysuru and Kodagu.
