Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister Kumaraswamy criticizing state government over raising concern of the lack of beds for Covid-19 treatment in the state said that it was shocking to see patients turned down by hospitals.

Taking to twitter Kumaraswamy wrote, “It is shocking to see COVID-19 patients being turned down by the hospitals due to lack of beds. The government has failed in its duty to protect the citizens.”

He further added, “If the government doesn’t get its act together, the day is not far when COVID patients would be condemned to die on the streets. We are already seeing heart-wrenching stories of patients denied treatment.”

“I appeal to the government to consider the suggestions I made earlier and act accordingly. This is not the time for party politics,” he said.
