Mysore/Mysuru: Even as the slugfest between Congress and BJP leaders continue over alleged scam in the purchase of COVID-19 medical equipment by the BJP Government, KPCC Spokesperson M.Lakshmana said that the Congress will register a criminal case against the BJP for issuing a legal notice to Opposition leader Siddharamaiah and KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar who have accused the Government of rampant corruption in COVID-19 medical purchases.
Addressing a press meet at Congress Bhavan here yesterday, Lakshmana said that Siddharamaiah is the Opposition Leader in the State Assembly and D.K.Shivakumar is an MLA and they have every right to expose the Government. But the BJP Government, instead of answering to the charges, has issued a legal notice to the two leaders, which amounts to disruption of discharge of their duties. As such, the Congress will lodge a criminal case against BJP General Secretary N. Ravikumar under Sections 186 and 353 of IPC, who has issued the legal notice to the two party leaders, Lakshmana said.
