Bengaluru, Mar. 27, 2021 (www.justkannada.in): “The State Government should inform the people of the state about the exact number of Corona infections, deaths, and treatment and provide all the details of the compensation and relief given to the families of the victims by releasing a white paper. Corona should be won using treatment and medicine, not by telling lies,” said former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Speaking in the assembly today Siddaramaiah expressed his view that the BJP government has been telling lies right from the beginning of the pandemic including the number of deaths that occurred due to the pandemic, treatment, medicine, masks, sanitizers, PPE kits, and purchase of hospital beds. The Chief Minister B.S. Yedyurappa and Minister Dr. K. Sudhakar are telling lies in order conceal the corruption in this,” he alleged.
“BJP government’s inefficiency, corruption, and lies are the reason for increase in the pandemic. I have been telling about this right from the first day. But the State Government has failed to correct itself and instead is defending itself. As a result of this people are suffering,” he added.
“According to the State Health Department, the number of deaths that has taken place because of COVID-19 Pandemic is 12,090, up to December 2020. But according to the State Planning and Statistics Department, the number is 22,320. Which number is correct and which is false?,” he questioned CM Yedyurappa and Minister Dr. K. Sudhakar.
