Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Saturday said the Justice Michael D' Cunha Commission of Inquiry that investigated alleged irregularities in the purchase of equipment and medicines during the Covid-19 pandemic has recommended prosecution of then Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and former minister B Sriramulu.
It is clear that there was a "loot" in the purchase of equipment and medicines during Covid-19, when the BJP was in power, he said.
The report proves the Congress' allegation that the "then government made money over the dead bodies, misusing the situation", the minister added....there had been lapses. No one could question them during the pandemic. Making use of that situation, the government of the day looted and took decisions convenient for them, in violation of rules. As an opposition party then, we (Congress) tried to highlight the issue. After coming to power in the state we constituted a commission of inquiry headed by a former judge to probe and submit a report," Rao told reporters here.
