BRUSHING aside serious questions raised by the Opposition BJP and Janata Dal (Secular), the state government on Wednesday gave administrative approval for renting 46 mechanical road-sweeping machines for seven years at a whopping ₹613 crore to clean roads in five municipal corporations under the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA).

The Opposition questioned the logic of paying huge sums for renting the machines that can be purchased for a fraction of that amount. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, however, dismissed the allegations made by JDS and BJP and dared them to lodge a complaint with Lokayukta if there is corruption in renting the machines.
