Targeting the BJP after 14 children suffering from Thalassemia tested positive for serious infections during a screening at an Uttar Pradesh hospital, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has said the "double-engine" government has made health infrastructure "doubly sick". Samajwadi Party, the main Opposition in Uttar Pradesh, hit out at the Yogi Adityanath government, saying no one is watching the health services in the state. डबल इंजन सरकार ने हमारी स्वास्थ्य व्यवस्था को डबल बीमार कर दिया है।यूपी के कानपुर में एक सरकारी अस्पताल में थैलीसीमिया के 14 बच्चों को संक्रमित खून चढ़ा दिया गया, जिससे इन बच्चों को HIV AIDS और हेपेटाइटिस B, C जैसी चिंताजनक बीमारियाँ हो गई हैं।ये गंभीर लापरवाही शर्मनाक है।… उप्र में संक्रमित ख़ून चढ़ाने से 14 बच्चों को HIV और हेपेटाइटिस का संक्रमण होना बेहद गंभीर बात है। इस लापरवाही की तत्काल जाँच हो और इस तरह की घातक गलती की सख़्त से सख़्त सज़ा दी जाए।उप्र में चिकित्सा व्यवस्था देखनेवाला कोई नहीं है।
"Double engine" government is a term frequently used by BJP leaders in their poll campaigns to refer to the twin advantage of having a BJP government at both the state and the centre level.
The remarks come after Hindustan Times reported that 14 children, who suffer from Thalassemia, tested positive for infections such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV during a screening at Kanpur's Lala Lajpat Rai hospital. A senior doctor at the hospital has said this data covered a period of 8-10 years. He also said children suffering from Thalassemia get blood transfusions at multiple health facilities and it is not possible to know when they were infected.
