“There is no question of MPs or MLAs directly procuring vaccines (for COVID-19),” he said. Mr. Kateel said that there is nothing wrong in MPs and MLAs telling people who need vaccine at the earliest to approach private hospitals. Sadananda Gowda was closely monitoring the process of procurement and distribution of vaccines, he added. Mr. Kateel said that while there is no dearth of leaders in the BJP, B.S. Yediyurappa continues to be the consensus leader to steer the State through these tough times.
