Is govt deliberately hiding deaths at ESIC? asks Chittapur MLA

Chittapur MLA Priyank Kharge on Wednesday tweeted that he has received complaints that as many as eight people died at ESIC hospital in Kalaburagi following ventilator breakdown.

No one is denying or accepting it, he said.

He further hoped that the information was wrong. "I hope I am wrong, but if it is a fact, this ascertains that the administration has lost control over #CoronaPandemic in the district," he said in another tweet.

Is the government deliberately hiding it? he questioned.
