BJP sends legal notices to Siddaramaiah, DK Shivakumar over Covid-19 scam allegation

BENGALURU: The BJP's Karnataka unit on Friday said it has sent legal notice to the leader of opposition Siddaramaiah and state Congress chief D K Shivakumar for their "baseless" allegations of corruption in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies.

The party has demanded public apology from the two leaders, failing which they have been threatened with legal action.

"On one side Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah say the government was not sharing information with them despite writing twenty letters......when the government did not share any information, where did you get this figure, who gave you this," BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar asked.
