“Such false statements are also creating a distrust of the Centre among the people as to what will happen if the third wave of corona strikes,” BSP president Mayawati said.
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Thursday said the claim of “no deaths due to lack of oxygen” during the second wave was very unfortunate and sad, and added that such statements were creating a distrust among people of the government’s ability to tackle any future wave. In a series of tweets, the BSP leader said, “Due to lack of oxygen, especially in the second wave of corona, there were panic and deaths in India. To deal with it, the Central government even had to take foreign help and this is not hidden from anyone. Yet, it is very unfortunate and sad to claim that there have been no deaths due to lack of oxygen.” “Such false statements are also creating a distrust of the Centre among the people as to what will happen if the third wave of corona strikes. The priority of the Central and State governments should be 100%towards the people and less towards political and government interests.”More Related News
