On the heels of Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya allegedly uncovering a massive racket in the COVID-19-bed allotment system of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), voices charging him with inciting communal tensions have emerged. Surya, national president of the BJP youth wing, had previously accused members of the BBMP War Room of taking bribes in exchange for hospital beds.
Supported by BJP legislators, Surya alleged that beds were being booked under the names of asymptomatic patients recovering at home. According to him, over 4,000 previously blocked beds had been unblocked upon the payment of a bribe to BBMP employees.
