MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal says he will release documents of irregularities in CM’s office
Says at least Rs. 100 crore is being scammed everyday
Mysuru: Vijaypur BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal on Monday alleged irregularities in Chief Minister’s Office adding that he will release the corresponding documents to support his claim.
“A loot of Rs. 100 crores happens everyday in the state. The irregularities are happening inside the office of the CM. I will be releasing documents related to this in two days”, he said.
After visiting Chamundeshwari deity’s worship site at Mysuru on Monday morning, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal spoke to the press and said, “State’s treasury is being looted. If BJP has to survive in this state, then change needs to happen. The guest house behind CM’s residence must be raided by the CCB. All of Vijayendra’s deals occur in that place itself. Every day they are looting Rs. 100 crores”, he accused.
“The money is going to the opposition parties. Which is why they are all silent. They are shareholders in these irregularities. The administration of the state is happening in a manner as to make Lingayats hang their heads in shame. The pontiff is talking in support of the chief minister because he has been given some donations”, he criticized.
“There is a systematic attempt to finish Minister Sri Ramalu. The Lingayat and Kuruba leaders are being side-lined”, Yatnal complained.

Maharashtra sets up state vaccination task force to strengthen immunisation programme
Mumbai (PTI): The Maharashtra government has set up a State Vaccination Task Force to strengthen the regular immunisation programme and review the progress of related campaigns, a health department official said on Monday.
The State Vaccination Task Force will comprise at least 29 members and will be headed by the administrative head of the health department, he informed.
The government has also constituted separate district-level and municipal vaccination task forces to improve implementation and address challenges at the grassroots level, he said.
Municipal task forces, chaired by respective civic commissioners, have been constituted in view of the vast urban population in Maharashtra and the role of civic bodies in implementing different health programmes.
The district-level task forces will function under the chairmanship of collectors.
"Complete immunisation of children at the appropriate age is an extremely simple, cost-effective and highly effective measure to reduce child mortality and the prevalence of diseases among kids. Immunisation is a powerful tool for reducing illness in children," maintained the official.
To ensure full vaccination of all children, the state government implements various campaigns from time to time as per the central government guidelines, he pointed out.
"Active participation and cooperation of other relevant government departments are essential (in making these campaigns successful)," according to the official.
The state-level body will review the regular immunisation programme, associated campaigns and vaccine-preventable diseases in detail. It will also conduct focused assessments of high-risk districts and municipal corporations, including vacancies at district, municipal and sub-district levels, availability of cold chain equipment, resource gaps and training requirements, he noted.
The state task force will review allocation and utilisation of funds for immunisation and ensure timely action by officers concerned based on reports from district and municipal task forces and state-level monitoring mechanisms, the official said.
It will also ensure active coordination and participation of other government departments in immunisation drives, while district and municipal task forces will carry out similar functions at their respective levels, the official added.
