Our Assessment
lowlow
Promise to abolish corruption in public works and create a transparent tender system across PWD, Rural Development, Irrigation, Urban Development and the Power sector, including by enacting a special law to punish perpetrators of corruption. Karnataka has a pre-existing Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurements (KTPP) Act with a 2023 amendment recorded by the state Finance Department; a distinct new special anti-corruption law as described in the manifesto is not confirmed. Corruption in public works remains contested - the Karnataka State Contractors' Association publicly alleged a 40 percent commission culture and later said corruption had come down. ManifestoWatch records these as the association's allegations and assigns no verdict. Status pending, unscored.
