Karnataka Food and Civil Supplies Minister Umesh Katti made an controversial statement. He is currently also the minister-in-charge of Bagalkot District.
The minister passed an insensitive comment upon attending the inspection of COVID-19 Care Centres in Banhatti City in Bagalkote. While doctors were seeking medical oxygen concentrators to meet hospital COVID-19 requirements, the minister replied by saying, “let us see when there is a third wave”.
The doctors then said there are chances maybe none of us would survive the third wave. To which Karnataka Minister Katti replied, “I don’t care if you survive (COVID-19) or not. I have to”
The minister’s shockingly inconsiderate comment to doctors who are righfully the pillars of strength, amid COVID-19 pandemic has received backlash.
