Belagavi: Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao said that we are making efforts for filling the vacancies of doctors in government health facilities in the state. Specialists will be appointed on contract basis.
Dinesh Gundurao told reporters here on Wednesday that efforts for recruitment of doctors was yet to get desired success including specialists.
Action will be taken against quacks. Legal action will be taken against them to contain the menace, he said.
Regarding statements by BJP leaders that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah led Congress government in the state would collapse after Diwali festival, he said, BJP were not able to tolerate stable government and were making efforts to destabilize government. Such efforts were made by centre too. BJP leaders have failed to develop state, but were busy with Operation Lotus.
He said Siddaramaiah will continue in his post and we hope court will set aside the allegations of land scam. Court will decide if prosecution permission given by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot was right or wrong.
Siddaramaiah has not done wrong nor has misused his powers. Governor has become puppet of centre and has not acted against Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy, former ministers Shashikala Jolle and Murugesh Nirani, he stated.
Dinesh Gundurao said there was no race in Congress for chief minister's post.
BJP social media handle posts about 'corrupt chief minister', and 'BJP were Number 1 in lying and instigating the people,' he said.
