AAP govt. covering up oxygen deaths: Bidhuri
The Hindu
‘It is trying to wriggle out of paying compensation to victims’
Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Tuesday expressed shock and surprise at the Delhi government’s assertion that it did not have a count of patients who died due to shortage of oxygen in the Capital during the second wave of COVID-19 infection. Mr. Bidhuri alleged that the government was trying to indulge in a cover-up of the deaths of innocent citizens by indulging in “petty politics” and, though it could collect data regarding such deaths “in one week”, its intention was to not do so. “There is a deliberate attempt to manipulate the deaths of innocent citizens and one of the main reasons is that the Arvind Kejriwal government is trying to wriggle out of paying compensation to those who died during the second wave,” Mr. Bidhuri alleged.More Related News
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala.
