The Congress’s Karnataka unit on Friday announced that the party’s MPs, MLAs and MLCs would allocate Rs 100 crore from their local area development funds to procure vaccines.
“The government has miserably failed to protect the people and vaccinate them. Hence, the MPs, MLAs and MLCs of the Congress, who are 95 in number, have decided to donate at least Rs 1 crore each to procure vaccines,” former chief minister Siddaramaiah, who is also the Congress legislative party leader, said at a news conference here.
According to him, a total of Rs 100 crore will be given by the Congress leaders of Karnataka for the purpose.
