I suspect Muslim organizations are involved in the COVID bed-blocking business: Eshwarappa
Shimoga: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday said that he suspected Muslim organizations were involved in the alleged scandal around the Corona bed-blocking business.
Speaking to the press in Shimoga, he said, “Among those who are unlawfully blocking beds, more number of people are Muslims. I am bringing religion into this because in this state we are trying to control COVID in many ways. However, to bring bad name to the government, some people could be doing like this, is my suspicion”, he said.
“This business was exposed by Tejasvi Surya, Sathish Reddy, and others. After investigations, we’ll know who is behind this. If there is the involvement of any organization or person, action will be taken against them”, Eshwarappa informed.

UP Cong chief Ajay Rai hospitalised after fainting, stable
Lucknow (PTI): Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai was hospitalised here after he fell unconscious due to low sodium levels, party leaders said on Saturday.
They said he was admitted to Medanta Hospital on Friday evening and is stable.
"Ajay Rai was admitted to Medanta Hospital in Lucknow at around 6 pm on Friday after he fell unconscious as his sodium levels had dropped. He fell unconscious at his residence in Lucknow. For the entire day, he was engaged in party programmes and had also gone to the airport," Uttar Pradesh Congress spokesperson Anshu Awasthi told PTI.
Congress in-charge of Uttar Pradesh Avinash Pande told PTI, "Now, he (Ajay Rai) is stable and I am also reaching Lucknow."
Medanta Hospital Director Dr Rakesh Kapoor told PTI that Rai collapsed at his home on Friday evening and was subsequently admitted to the hospital's emergency ward.
Medical examinations revealed that Rai was suffering from a sodium deficiency and elevated blood pressure. Doctors administered immediate treatment and he is doing significantly better now, Kapoor said.
A team of doctors is monitoring his health. Rai is conversing with others and his condition is stable, he added.
In a post on X late Friday night, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished Rai a speedy recovery.
Rai hails from Varanasi and had contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections against Modi from the parliamentary constituency. The Congress appointed him as the Uttar Pradesh unit chief in 2023.
