Union minister HD Kumaraswamy at a news conference in Bengaluru on Sunday
Priyank alleged Kumaraswamy had recommended appointments from the 2011 gazetted probationers batch despite court orders cancelling the selection over irregularities. Bengaluru: Union minister HD Kumaraswamy Sunday launched a fresh attack on the govt over alleged widespread irregularities in recruitments conducted by Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC), accusing Congress of failing to restore public confidence in the recruitment body.
He said: “Rahul Gandhi (Congress LoP in Lok Sabha) travels across the country and interacts with students and youngsters. Meanwhile, home minister Priyank Kharge hit back at Kumaraswamy over his allegations of KPSC recruitment irregularities, accusing him of avoiding a “logical response”. “You have the authority now. What is stopping you from reforming the institution or abolishing it?” he asked. When will he come to Bengaluru and meet KPSC victims? He also questioned Kumaraswamy’s alleged links with a former jailed KPSC chairperson and asked him to explain his record before questioning RDPR recruitment.
Targeting home minister Priyank Kharge, he recalled his earlier statement that he would abolish KPSC if given complete authority.
