On accusation that the ruling BJP government charges 40 per cent commission for awarding contracts, Bommai said, "There is nothing like that. If at all they have proof, then they should submit it and the matter will be investigated."
When asked about clashes between BJP MLC CP Yogeshwar and JD(S) workers in Channapatna town, he said, he is getting information about the incident. "We will not mix politics with allotment of funds and development. There is no scope for violence. We have come a long way in politics, it is important that benefits of all government schemes reach people," Bommai said.
