Bengaluru, Jul 22: Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday said that the state government should give details of the amount it spent on migrants and labourers during the coronavirus crisis if it is transparent.
"The image of Karnataka has come to a very rotten position. We all know that Karnataka has failed in sorting out the problem. Let them (the state government) tell what has been the amount spent on the labour, migrants, food kits on the health department. We want an account (of the expenditure) if they are so transparent," Shivakumar said.
He said that the state government should have approached the hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients and if any hospital refused, a message should have been given that the government would take it over.
He also accused the state government of corruption.

Kochi, Mar 2: The Vatican has rejected the second appeal by Sister Lucy Kalappura -- one of the nuns who protested against rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal -- against her expulsion from Franciscan Clarist Congregation (FCC).
In her plea, she had demanded that her version be heard and her expulsion from FCC revoked.
She was expelled from FCC for participating in public protests demanding the arrest of Franco Mulakkal in the nun rape case.
''I got a letter from Vatican which says my appeal has been rejected. But the rest of the letter is written in the Latin language. So after I understand it, I will respond," Sister Lucy told news agency.
''The authorities are contemptuous of those who make such complaints. That is why the letter is written in Latin. Sister Lucy would continue her legal fight in the courts,'' said George Moolechalil, who has been authorised by Sister Lucy to communicate with the media on her behalf.
A petition of Sister Lucy is still pending at Mananthavady Munsif Court at Wayanad that demands that she should not be expelled from the convent where she is staying.
Religious issues should be resolved within the guidelines of devine laws.
Unfortunately the Chrisitianity is no more in its originality.
The holy bible has been systematically abused and edited to the benefits of rulers.
The book has been contaminated with lots of editions.
People should search for truth and follow it.
Example, the religion never told to remain unmarried for priests or nuns.
They go against its teaching inveting their own idea against God's teaching.
Vatican is a corporate person.
