Seeks probe by a committee comprising five members of the Legislative Council
Former MLC and Congress leader Ramesh Babu on Thursday demanded a probe by a committee comprising five members of the Legislative Council into alleged irregularities in appointments to the Council secretariat and illegal salary payment of ₹48 lakh to the staff. In a letter to Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti, he alleged that appointments have been made without formal approval of the Finance Department. In a clear case of nepotism, he alleged that Council Secretariat officials appointed their relatives to various posts by violating rules and regulations. Appointments have been to technical posts without conducting an examination and interview, he alleged.
