Angry over denial of permission to hold meetings with Deputy Commissioners on COVID-related issues, Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah on Friday said he will move a breach of privilege motion against the State government during the coming session of the Legislative Assembly, for curtailing his rights to seek information. Speaking to reporters at the party office after participating in the death anniversary of former Prime Minister late Rajiv Gandhi, Mr. Siddaramaiah said he had planned to obtain information through videoconferences on availability of beds, ventilators, ICU beds, oxygen supply and other medical equipment in district hospitals for providing treatment for COVID patients.
