K'taka contractors' body warns of exposing 'bribe-seekers' if ₹38,000-cr dues not cleared

Karnataka State Contractors' Association (KSCA) issued an ultimatum to Congress-led state government over ₹38,000-crore pending dues owed to around 1.5 lakh contractors. The bills have accumulated across eight departments since 2021-22. The association warned of widespread protests and threatened exposing MLAs who allegedly demand commissions or bribes if the dues aren't cleared by November.
