Synopsis
The former MP came down heavily on Rudy for not utilising the ambulanceds when COVID patients are dying for want of emergency services. People are paying as much as Rs 12,000 to ferry COVID patients to hospitals even though the hospital may be just 1 km away. There is an acute shortage of ambulances and the Saran MP has kept about 100 ambulances.
BJP MP Rajeev Pratap Rudy said the ambulances were unused because of a lack of drivers
New Delhi:
An argument erupted on Friday between BJP MP Rajeev Pratap Rudy and Jan Adhikar Party chief Pappu Yadav after a fleet of ambulances were found unused - covered with tarpaulin and parked - on premises belonging to the Lok Sabha member from Bihar s Saran.
Mr Yadav, who is also a former MP, has demanded to know why the ambulances were kept off the streets at a time when the district and state is battling a huge rise in Covid cases, and medical resources like ambulances, drugs and oxygen are in short supply.
Former Madhepura MP and Jan Adhikar Party (JAP) president Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav raided a place where over two dozen Ambulances purchased from the fund of Saran Lok Sabha member Rajiv Pratap Rudy were parked triggering a controversy.
