Addressing media persons in the city the former union minister said that he demanded the Karnataka government to set up a Commission of Inquiry under the leadership of a a Supreme Court judge to unearth the misappropriations in the implementation of the project.

"Prima facie, it seems that officials involved in the implementation of Yettinahole project have committed various offences that come under IPC sections 463 (forgery), 464 (making false document), 468 (Forgery for purpose of cheating) and 420 (cheating)," Mr Poojary said.

"Let chief minister Siddaramaiah order a Commission of Inquiry to bring the truth to light. Let the people of Karnataka know all types of misappropriations that have taken place in implementing Yettinahole project. All officials and political leaders, who are involved in the misappropriation, should be brought before the law. Former chief ministers, who have taken initiative to implement the project, also should be brought under the purview of Commission of Inquiry," Poojary said.

Questioning the process in which the detailed project report (DPR) was prepared, he said, "They claim in DPR that project is aimed at lifting 24tmc of water from Yettinahole. Let them provide information on place and method of measurement used to calculate the water availability in Yettinahole project. Officials and political leaders have been misleading people and CM too. False documents have been prepared to get clearances for the project," Poojary alleged.

Bengaluru, Jul 22: Congress MLA Priyank Kharge has questioned the Karnataka government on the alleged breakdown of oxygen in the intensive care unit (ICU) at ESIC hospital in Kalaburagi, saying he had got complaints that eight persons who were on ventilators had died.

He asked the government if it is "deliberately" hiding something about the patients that were admitted in ESIC.

"I have got complaints that eight people who were on ventilators are dead in ESIC Kalaburagi because there was oxygen breakdown in ICU. ESIC has not been admitting patients as the issue has not been resolved. Nobody is confirming or denying it. Is the Government deliberately hiding something?" he asked.
Kharge also accused the government of not having adequate facilities to combat COVID-19 in different parts of the state.

"I hope I am wrong, but if it is a fact, this ascertains that the administration has lost control over Corona pandemic in the district. No addition testing centre. No beds are available. PPE Kits and medical waste is thrown in Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS)," he added.

According to the Union Health Ministry, there are 67420 COVID-19 cases in the state.
