Santhosh Patil, a small-time contractor and BJP worker, had before his death accused Karnataka Minister for Rural Development KS Eshwarappa of asking for a 40% bribe. And while Santhosh’s death forced Eshwarappa to resign from the cabinet, the corruption allegations are just the tip of the iceberg. Karnataka State Contractors Association have been alleging that government officials, MLAs, MPs have been asking for commission to pay their bills.
