Finding that there is a criminal intent in the alleged irregularities in purchase/ spendings/purchase during the Covid-19 in Karnataka, the cabinet meeting on Thursday decided to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the alleged irregularities when Covid-19 hit the State during the tenure of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from 2019-2023. It may be recalled here that when Covid-19 hit Karnataka, B.S. Yediyurappa was the Chief Minister and D. Sudhakar was the Minister of Health and Family Welfare.
The SIT will be formed based on the interim report submitted by retired High Court judge Michael D’Cunha on Covid-19 irregularities submitted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on August 31 this year. Besides, the cabinet meeting also decided to constitute a cabinet sub-committee to look into administrative malpractices but without criminal intent. However, the cabinet authorized Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to constitute the cabinet sub-committee.
At a press conference after the cabinet meeting, Minister of Law and Parliamentary Affairs H.K. Patil, in reply to a query on the number of officials involved in alleged administrative malpractices, stated “A lot many are there.” Regarding the extent of irregularities involved in the Covid-19, Patil said the Cunha Commission report has not pinpointed the number but estimated that the irregularities could be to a tune of Rs 7, 223. 63 crore.
