Somaiya earlier on Wednesday announced that he will expose "one more scam of the civic body". "COVID ki KAMAI" Exposing One more scam of BMC today. 2.30 pm today, I will be meeting Labour Minister Suresh Khade at Mantralaya Mumbai to submit a detailed complaint," the BJP leader said in a tweet. Last month also Somaiya alleged corruption on part of BMC in procuring Remdisivir injections during the Covid-19 pandemic. But, the Maharashtra Lokayukta exculpated the BMC of any "irregularity" or "non-transparency" in a complaint filed by the BJP leader. "It has not been established and proved by the complainant that there was any corruption in the purchase of injection Remdesivir by the respondents. It is also not proved that there was irregularity and non-transparency in the purchase of this injection by them," the Lokayukta stated in an order. (ANI)
