BS Yeddyurappa to appear before it on December five in a
complaint filed by a member of a Coop Society, alleging he has
not been granted medical expenses under a health scheme.

Consumers Forum asking Yeddyurappa and Minister for
Cooperation Laxman Savadi either to appear before it in person
or through their counsel.

Society has in his complaint alleged that he has not been
granted medical expenses incurred by him under Yashaswini
Health scheme when Yeddyurappa was the Chief Minister.

under the scheme.
Poojari said his wife delivered a baby in KMC Hospital
here and had to spend about Rs 60,000 for treatment of his
child.
When he approached the Cooperative Society for refund, it
rejected the claim on the ground that Yashaswini Scheme was
launched by the state government and not by it.

Bangalore and recently secured bail in two of the complaints
