Referring to BJP leader and Vijayapura MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal’s bitter attack on his party leader and former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, Congress leader and Home Minister G. Parameshwar has said that Mr. Yatnal has made this party’s task easy.
Mr. Yatnal has charged Mr. Yediyurappa with being involved in a ₹40,000-crore scam during efforts to tackle COVID-19 in the State.
“We thought that the previous BJP government was involved in a ₹4,000-crore scam in the name of handling COVID-19. But, we now realise that the scam size is ₹40,000 crore. Mr. Yatnal’s revelations will help the investigation of the irregularities and misappropriation of funds in handling COVID-19. The John Michael Cunha Commission is inquiring the case,” Dr. Parameshwar told journalists at a media conference in Kalaburagi on Wednesday.
