Those raising questions about Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa or seeking change of leadership in Karnataka should work towards better COVID management in their constituencies instead, Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi said in Athani on Thursday.
He was speaking to journalists after inaugurating a project to fill tanks with water from irrigation canals.
He admitted that some BJP leaders had gone to New Delhi to seek a change in leadership. They should spend their time meaningfully by indulging in COVID relief activities in their constituencies instead. The question of change of Chief Minister in Karnataka is irrelevant and meaningless, he said.

Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi speaking to the press in Koppal on Monday.
Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi, who also holds the Transport portfolio, flagged off oxygen bus services for COVID-19 patients in Koppal on Monday.
“The idea of oxygen bus service is conceived to provide oxygen to patients in need. Buses that have to be scrapped after they have completed 9 lakh km of running are being converted into oxygen buses. When hospitals run out of oxygen beds due to a heavy rush of patients, these buses will serve as mobile hospitals with oxygen facility. An oxygen bus can house five oxygen beds and a ventilator. A doctor and a nursing staff will also be available on the bus,” Mr. Savadi said, after inaugurating the service.

Taking note of the increasing cases of black fungus infection and the expensive treatment involved, Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi has said that the government was thinking of offering free treatment to patients from economically weaker sections of society.
“The treatment includes 45 injections and 45 days of hospitalisation. It requires a lot of money and poorer sections of society cannot afford it. We are thinking of offering free treatment to poor patients and we will shortly take a decision after discussing it with Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa,” he said, during his interaction with mediapersons in Koppal on Monday.
The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) on Wednesday rolled out a hi-tech bus with an intensive care unit and oxygen to treat Covid patients on wheels.
