Rahul Gandhi said, "The people of Karnataka call this regime a '40 per cent government', as they take a 40 per cent cut or commission from contractors. The PM was also aware of this. So I would like to ask him why he didn't take any action on it."

Polling for Karnataka Assembly is scheduled on May 10 and the votes will be counted on May 13. (with ANI inputs)
