During Covid-19, the BJP government bought medicine and medical equipment. In the report of the accounting committee submitted in this regard, there was a serious allegation of illegality.
BJP’s own MLA and former Union Minister Basan Gowda Patil Yatnal had made serious allegations against the then BJP government that thousands of crores of misappropriations had taken place in the management of Covid-19.
The Commission has investigated the procurement of medicines, equipment, and materials to prevent COVID, oxygen management, and deaths due to lack of oxygen.
CM Siddaramaiah, who was then the leader of the opposition during the BJP government, had demanded the formation of a commission of inquiry headed by a retired High Court judge into the alleged Covid corruption. But the BJP government rejected this allegation.

After the Congress government came to power an inquiry commission headed by Judge John Michael D’Cunha was formed.
As per the source, the Congress government is set to use this report as a tool to take action against anybody involved, which includes BJP ministers and officials in the alleged irregularities.
Meanwhile, on Saturday the state Congress unit participated in the “Raj Bhavan Chalo” protest which marched from Vidhansouda Gandhi Statue to Raj Bhavan to condemn the Governor’s move to grant sanction of prosecution against the CM Siddaramaiah.
“The Governor’s office has been misused to destabilize the Congress government in the state. Doing this is wrong. A governor should not work against the law, he should work in favour of the law. Also, the constitution should be protected. The office of the Governor should be a name for equality. So, our struggle for the survival of democracy and constitution is continuous,” said Deputy CM DK Shivakumar at the protest.
