Vigilance department had exposed irregularities worth crores of rupees in purchase of medicines and equipment, says Congress MP
Congress MP and Telangana Congress Committee working president A. Revanth Reddy has alleged that the government had suppressed a report of the Enforcement and Vigilance department on the irregularities in purchase of medicines and equipment by Telangana State Medical Development Infrastructure Corporation (TSMDIC) for COVID treatment. The MP said purchases worth ₹ 450 crore were made last year for COIVID treatment through TSMDIC and irregularities worth crores were exposed by the Enforcement and Vigilance report. “Why is the government suppressing it and whom does it want to shield?” he asked at a press conference. Mr. Reddy said similar financial irregularities are likely in the government’s decision to go for global tenders for purchase of vaccines and medicines now. “The constitution of the Task Force committee by the government on coronavirus that will also deal with purchases clearly indicates it,” he alleged.More Related News
