Daredevil and Whistleblower IAS officer Rashmi Mahesh has exposed Massive Scam not just in the Administrative Training Institute [ATI] but across all the Departments of the Government of Karnataka.
Rashmi Mahesh has unearthed facts in the ATI where Rs 65 crore worth works sanctioned and funded by 12th finance commission were split into 765 works of Rs less than 1 lakh to circumvent and avoid the transparency act which stipulates the official to float tenders to award the works.
IAS officers & Bureaucrats in Karnataka are empowered to issue Work Orders upto Rs 1 Lakh without Tenders or Competitive Bidding and allotment of the Work is at the discretion of the IAS officer. The Scam Exposed by Rashmi Mahesh should be probed across all the Departments of the Government of Karnataka as this has been time and again heavily misused with Rampant corruption to the tune of 80%.
This is how your Karnataka Commercial Tax Paid Money gets spent without any accountability and thus Whistleblower IAS officer is right in demanding a CBI probe or maybe an Independent Judicial Probe as any other investigation by CID or CoD will be heavily influenced by Corrupt Bureaucrats and Politicians.
