After Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya exposed the artificial shortage of hospital beds in Bengaluru created by a nexus of Arogya Mithras stationed at various hospitals, he has now approached Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani to ensure transparency with regards to Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s (BBMP) bed allocation software.
“Had a conversation with Nandan Nilekani this morning and sought his help to revamp BBMP bed allocation software. Lots of gratitude to him for putting very best tech architects on the job immediately. Yet again, Nandan Nilekani has proved he is always available for Bengaluru!” Tejasvi Surya said in a tweet.

“This team of tech architects, also assisted by technology think tank iSpirit Product Nation, will redesign the bed booking software to make it efficient, transparent and minimise manual intervention. I thank the tech volunteers for helping this cause. People of Bengaluru will be grateful to you!” he added.
Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya on Tuesday (4 May) alleged that there are enough beds in Bengaluru city but unfortunately they were running a racket of false blocking beds and then allocating them to those they please.
Surya was visibly upset and said those involved in this racket will surely face an unpleasant end themselves as they have compromised the lives of hundreds of people out of which many died due to lack of access to beds despite there being enough of them available.
