Whether silence by BSY Government, is an admission of corruption ?

The Karnataka Government has  so far received ₹664 Crores by individuals and companies for Covid-19 Fund and the CM Relief Fund. 

A statement issued by the CMO stated that, the State Government has so far received ₹299.50 crores donations towards Covid-19 and ₹ 334.50 crores to the CM Relief Fund and also the government claims to have spent ₹ 14.77 crores so far to install Medical Gas Pipeline with High Flow Oxygen System in taluka hospitals (₹109.10 crores) and purchase of Ventilator, (₹32.62,66,280).

Section of media have published  the detailed reports alongwith the visuals on Covid-19 expenditures, alleging large scale  corruption. 

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.
