Allegations of corruption in distribution of free food grains affected by Covid-19 lockdown is parallelly doing the rounds in the State of Karnataka, and, in the mean time, some section of media has published detailed reports with visuals, on illegal storage of food grains by certain private individuals connected to the government.
On the other hand, the Congress has demanded the State Government to come out with the White Paper on Covid-19 expenditures alleging large scale corruption and also on on illegal storage of food grains by certain private individuals connected to the government.
However, the State Government, has, conspicuously chosen to be silent and not taken any action as against the allegations on illegal storage and also on allegations of large scale corruption on Covid-19 expenditures.
When government is not saying anything and its silence is speaking everything loudly, the only presumption left to be drawn is on the credibility of the government.
