206 people work in Bengaluru's South Zone COVID War-room. 17 of them are Muslims.

@Tejasvi_Surya named only these 17 & spoke of bed scam

BJP CM, MP, MLA aren't at fault though BBMP/State is under them but 17 call centre boys are responsible!

This is the level of Bigotry by BJP

Hindu & Muslim volunteers are working together so hard since weeks to help people during this 2nd wave.

BJP Govt's failures are evident. Lack of Oxygen, medicines & ICU Ventilators are killing 100s

@Tejasvi_Surya was missing in action

Now, BJP chooses hate to distract people.

These 17 Muslims have been fired

Can @Tejasvi_Surya prove how only these 17 Muslims out of 206 working at the war-room were involved in the Bed Allocation scam?

If not, why did u take only these names? Is it wrong for BBMP to employ Muslims?

Your agenda is to only communalise

To hide the scams of BJP & to take away attention from 24 Oxygen deaths in Chamarajanagar & 2 in Bengaluru, @Tejasvi_Surya, his MLA uncle, two other MLAs played out this farce.

It was well planned. Within minutes of him taking Muslim names, Whatsapp was flooded with Propaganda.

Yesterday night, @Tejasvi_Surya claimed victory & said bed availability went from ZERO to 1504

This was a lie. General Beds were always available & in fact 2000+ were there yesterday afternoon.

MP doesn't even know that ICU Ventilator beds, which are ZERO, is what kills people.

There is also an internal political angle to why @Tejasvi_Surya & his MLA uncle went public alleging a scam against their own party State Govt

He belongs to a camp which wants CM @BSYBJP out.

Muslim angle was two birds with one stone. Yediyurappa can't reply & Bhakts are happy.

Karnataka Vaccination rates have crashed to below 50,000/day

Karnataka's Hospitals are seeing Oxygen deaths as supply of oxygen from Center isn't proper

Bengaluru South needs more ICU Ventilator Beds

As a MP, instead of raising all these, @Tejasvi_Surya focuses on communalism

Bengaluru is facing 2 main issues
1. Lack of ICU Ventilator Beds
2. Oxygen Shortage in Hospitals

@Tejasvi_Surya these are Demand - Supply issues. Not Hindu - Muslim ones.

People are dying because BJP Govt failed to add capacity

Not bcos 17 Muslims are sitting in a call centre!

In the morning, @Tejasvi_Surya claimed that he spoke to @NandanNilekani about developing a new bed allocation software.

BBMP Commisioner says they are already using software by Infosys. Can Nandan clarify?

Also, software can't increase ICU bed capacity!
