Nearly a week after the BJP government came under intense criticism from the Opposition over district in-charge Ministers not doing enough in their districts, it seems to have been a mixed effort from the Ministers, who have been present, physically or virtually, to monitor the situation. Following the criticism from the Opposition at the all-party meeting convened by Governor Vajubhai R. Vala, the Ministers were nudged to be more proactive in their districts by Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa. The surge in COVID-19 cases outside Bengaluru has become a cause for concern since several districts are reporting a higher Case Fatality Rate and higher cases in proportion to their population. However, it has now emerged that most of the Ministers monitoring their own home districts in their capacity as district in-charge are working from the ground, while the others remain mostly physically absent and are monitoring remotely.More Related News
