Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya exposed BBMP bed allotment scam, however when the video went viral Surya was accused of giving this case a communal spin.
Surya had alleged on Tuesday that hospitals in the city ‘blocked’ at least 4,065 beds in fake names to in a bid earn more at a time when the country and Karnataka are struggling to fight the second wave of COVID-19.
In the viral video Surya, who conducted an audit of the bed allotment in the south zone war room on Tuesday, can be seen reading out a list of 17 health officials deployed in the war room. However, all the names are Muslim.
“Is it a madrassa or a war room?” the in-charge officer is asked.
According to The News Minute, several WhatsApp forwards also went out after Surya’s press conference. The WhatsApp forwards name the 16 names Surya mentioned and call them a “List of terrorists working in BBMP WAR ROOM killing thousands of Bengalurians.” Some WhatsApp forwards also say, “They are ensuring no Hindus get bed easily.”
