Mangaluru: In a press conference held here on Thursday September 2 at the Mallikatte Congress office here in the City, the Dakshina Kannada Congress party criticised the BJP Government for allegedly politicising the Covid-19 outbreak in the district.
Congress District President and MLC Harish Kumar said that the resources provided by the Central and State Governments for the poor were being exploited by BJP party workers and corporators in Dakshina Kannada District.
Harish said, “The BJP is misusing people’s money and resources for their own political gains. Resources that were supposed to be distributed to the poor during pandemic are being used to advertise the BJP. This is unethical because the resources are obtained from public funds, but the government takes credit for them.”
He further added that the BJP used photos of Prime Minister Modi on the ration distribution campaign, vaccination certificates and RT-PCR reports,” he continued.
“BJP neglected the elected Congress party Corporators at the panchayat level, and that they were not taken into confidence before making any decisions. Our Corporators are being ignored. They aren’t invited to any of the decision-making sessions. One of our Corporators was first given 500 Covid-19 vaccinations for his ward, which was later decreased to 300, and the sanctioned shots were eventually cancelled due to a lack of resources,” he added.
Harish questioned as to why the government cancelled the vaccines if they were approved for the Congress Corporators? Where did all those vaccines go?
