Covid-19: PAC Chairman demands White Paper on purchase of Medical equipment to fight Covid - 19

Vijayapura, July 31(UNI) Coming down heavily against large scale corruption in purchase of medical equipment for treating Covid patients, former Minister and veteran Congress Legislator H K Patil today demanded the BJP government not only to publish a white paper on expenditure, but also constitute a fact-finding committee headed by sitting High Court Judge.
Addressing a press conference here on Friday, he accused that the government has purchased several equipment at exorbitant and unreasonable prices.
“Congress demands the government immediately constitute a committee to find out the truth. While the government is defending that it has not involved corruption, only a committee headed by a sitting judge can unearth the truth. If the government has an iota of conscience, then let it decide to bring the truth before the people”.
