Claiming that no work could be completed without the payment of a certain fee. It was stated that Rawat said, “Though I have been a chief minister and perhaps shouldn’t say this, I have no hesitation in admitting that when we were separated from Uttar Pradesh, up to 20 per cent commission used to be paid there to get public works done,”
The BJP MP was quoted as saying, “After separation, it should have come to nil here, but the practice continued, and we began with 20 per cent.”
The former CM was quoted as saying by the sources, “It is a mentality. It will go away only when we begin to look upon our state as our own family.”
