Congress MLC Nagaraj Yadav, speaking to CNN-News18 on the opening day of the Karnataka Legislative Council\u2019s winter session, made allegations of rule violations and nepotism in the direct recruitment of eight candidates to the Council Secretariat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Congress MLC claimed that the appointments were made without any formal recruitment process, in clear violation of departmental norms. \u201cEight candidates were directly recruited without following rules and going against department norms. This is favouritism and a clear conflict of interest by the Chairman,” he alleged.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a letter addressed to Council Secretary Mahalakshmi, Yadav demanded the immediate release of all documents related to the appointments, emphasising that transparency was necessary to determine whether due procedure had been bypassed and whether the Chairman had misused his authority.<\/span><\/p>\n

The MLC further warned that if the Secretariat fails to provide the requested documents, he will file a formal complaint against the Secretary with the competent authority for alleged misuse of power.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the session begins, Yadav\u2019s allegations have sparked intense political debate within the Council, with the opposition pressing for a thorough investigation into the appointments. The Council Secretariat has yet to respond officially.<\/span><\/p>\n
