Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 11: Accusing a Congress MLC of demanding bribe for releasing CDF money against the work done, the contractor has approached AICC General Secretary and Incharge J&K affairs Ambika Soni for help.
The contractor has formally complained to the senior Congress leader that the said MLC was demanding 25 percent of the total CDF amount, to be released against the work, in advance from him as the commission.
As this Ex-serviceman turned contractor clearly refused to pay the bribe, the MLC did not sanction release of the CDF payment in his favour despite satisfactory completion of the work for the last more than a year besides completion of all required formalities for release of payment.
According to the sources, the contractor was introduced to the MLC by a Congress worker, on whose recommendation, the CDF work was allotted to him more than 2-years back. As this worker disaffiliated himself from the MLC during the last Assembly elections in the state and did not explain the game of omission and commissions in the CDF works to the contractor, the humble ex-Serviceman ensured quality work and completed the same on time.
However, when he approached the MLC for sanctioning of release of funds against the work executed by him, the later demanded 25 percent commission in advance. Stunned over such demand, the contractor tried to explain that he had executed the work on the MLC's formal recommendation and he also produced the official letter in this regard besides certificates of the concerned department.
But the MLC refused to acknowledge all this and allegedly reiterated that not even a penny would be released till the commission is paid.
The aggrieved contractor ran from pillar to post for getting his payment released but all in vain. The contractor finally wrote a letter to the Congress high command and personally met Ambika Soni, who is on two-day visit to the State.
After hearing the complaint has been made, this MLC did not turn up in the Congress programmes, held yesterday on arrival of Ambika Soni here, without assigning any reason.
Even as Ambika Soni told the other party leaders to convey her message to the MLC and release payment of the contractor, sources said that MLC has not given any response.
