Minister for IT & BT, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Priyank Kharge has asked the former Union Minister and BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal to make public documents related to his ₹40,000-crore scam charge in the interest of the people of the State.
Speaking to presspersons during a brief stopover in Hubballi on Wednesday, Mr. Kharge said that it is really a shame that the BJP government made money over the dead during the efforts to tackle COVID-19.
“The allegation has not been made by the Congress but the BJP’s own leader [Mr. Yatnal]. The 40% commission charge too came from the BJP’s own leaders. Now, Mr. Yatnal’s allegation indicates that they made money over the dead,” he said.
