Deccan ChronicleMANGALURU: The comments made by Bijapur City MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal on the alleged corruption in Covid management during the tenure of former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa have now become a potent tool for Congress leaders, particularly led by CM Siddaramaiah. “BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal’s bold allegation that the previous BJP government led by BS Yediyurappa was involved in a Rs 40,000 crore corruption scandal during the Covid-19 pandemic has given further evidence to our earlier accusation that the BJP government was a '40% commission government' CM Siddaramaiah posted on social media. “In a press conference, accompanied by supporting documents, we accused Yediyurappa’s government of corruption totaling approximately Rs 4,000 crore under the guise of Corona treatment and management. BJP legislator Yatnal has been continuously accusing former Chief Minister Yediyurappa, his son BY Vijayendra, and some ministers in the previous government of corruption.
