In viral video, Telangana councillor says bribes are common, ‘even minister knows’

In viral video, Telangana councillor says bribes are common, ‘even minister knows’. She says, "Our Minister only said that we (government officials) don't get anything. I'm telling you (mediapersons) known facts only. If there is a contractor, it will be 1% or 2% or 3% (Commission). Based on that, if they do some work, and give (bribe) to councillor, everything will be done." However, to make things worse, Pavani then goes on to argue that it is wrong to point fingers as councillors spend a lot of money in getting civic works done. "They spent a lot of money as councillors (during the election), so they (contractors) should at least give one or two percent. We are all roaming around in our wards, so it is their (contractors) duty to give to us," she added.
