<p>Senior advocate A K Subbaiah on Wednesday alleged that former prime minister H D Deve Gowda and his family were the biggest beneficiaries of corruption in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) recruitment system.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Speaking to mediapersons, he decried the ongoing protests against the government’s decision to reject the KPSC selection list for the posts of gazetted probationers of the 2011 batch.<br /><br />Subbaiah, a former leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, said Gowda’s eldest son H D Balakrishne Gowda had got through to the KPSC examination due to the manipulation of answer scripts. <br /><br />“In 1978, Balakrishne Gowda made it to the selection list after the answer scripts were interchanged. I myself have seen the answer script that was replaced. When I asked Deve Gowda about this, he had told me that it was for securing the future of his children.”<br /><br />Subbaiah and Gowda were in the Janata Party in 1978. Subbaiah said the rejection of the 2011 gazetted probationary officers list was a historical decision taken by the government. The advocate later told this newspaper that the government should now stick to its decision and not be swayed by pressure.<br /><br /> “Deve Gowda’s family is the biggest beneficiary of corrupt practices in the recruitment system. The government should evolve a foolproof system to ensure that the recruitment system is free from corruption.”<br /><br />HDK reacts<br />Kumaraswamy, who met the protesters at Freedom Park, said that he would take the battle to a logical end. “Subbaiah is unemployed. Hence, he is making false allegations,” he said reacting to Subbaiah’s charges.<br /><br /> “This person claims to be in possession of documents to establish that my father inter-changed answer scripts of my brother who had been selceted as a KAS officer decades ago. Why was he keeping silent all these years? he said.</p>
