Aadhaar architect Nandan Nilekani is helping the Bengaluru's civic body BBMP to revamp its bed allocation software a day after a team of BJP lawmakers led by MP Tejasvi Surya alleged a scam in the way beds were allocated to needy Covid-19 patients. In this regard, he met Nandan Nilekani, the Infosys co- founder and sought his help in creating a new 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. The team of tech architects is being assisted by tech think tank iSpirit, which will redesign the bed booking software to make it efficient , transparent and minimise manual intervention. The MP exposed a racket in which beds, though were available, were deliberately shown as ‘booked’ by a few unscrupulous elements. He went on to allege further that these fraudulent officers would contact genuine bed-seekers and demand a hefty sum as bribe. And these seekers had no option but to yield to the demand. In this regard, the Bengaluru police have arrested two people. Further investigation is on.
