Bengaluru: The opposition Congress on Thursday stepped up the attack on the ruling BJP in Karnataka and demanded the arrest of party MP Tejasvi Surya and three MLAs, alleging they were behind the scam involving blocking of hospital beds meant for Covid patients in the city.
KPCC general secretary Surya Mukund Raj lodged a complaint with Siddapura police station demanding legal action against the communal statement given by MP Tejasvi Surya, MLAs Ravi Subramanya, Uday Garudachar and Satish Reddy.
Surya, the Bengaluru South BJP MP and Yuva Morcha president, Bommanahalli BJP MLA M Sathish Reddy and Basavanagudi MLA Ravi Subramanya on Tuesday made claims about the bed blocking scam in Bengaluru and doubted the involvement of Muslims deployed at the Covid War Room of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
The hospital bed scam comes as many people complained that they were not getting beds without paying bribes and purchasing drugs at an exorbitant price on the black market.
