Ashoka: Govt caught in medical mafia grip, judicial probe needed
NAUSHAD BIJAPUR @Belagavi

Leader of Opposition in Assembly R Ashoka has demanded a judicial probe into the large number of maternal mortality cases registered from various parts of Karnataka in the recent days.

While terming the deaths "extremely serious," Ashoka said that the judicial probe into the deaths should be taken up under a sitting judge. Hitting out at the Congress State Government, former DyCM and BJP MLA Dr CN Ashwath Narayan demanded that a criminal case be filed against Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao for the deaths and called the state government a "kolegaduka sarkara" (murderer government).
