NEW DELHI: Congress leader P Chidambaram on Sunday lashed out at the government for making claims contrary to the reality in the country.
Chidambaram tweeted, While no vaccine boards hang on the door of most hospitals, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan claims that there is no shortage in the supply of vaccines . Believe the minister, there is no shortage of vaccines, oxygen, Remdisvir, hospital beds, doctors and nurses. There is only a shortage of patients!
He also attacked the Prime Minister and said, Thank you Prime Minister for sparing a little time for Covid amidst the urgent war to conquer W BENGAL and annexe it to the BJP s empire.
Ranchi: Differences cropped up between ruling Congress and JMM, the lead partner in the Mahagathbandhan, during the all-party meeting on Saturday over the imposition of a complete lockdown to break the chain of Covid-19 in the state. As there was no consensus, the government could not announce any measures.
While JMM is in favour of the lockdown, Congress along with Left parties cited the problems faced by the poor and the underprivileged groups during the countrywide lockdown last year and urged chief minister Hemant Soren to focus on other stringent measures and strengthening of the healthcare infrastructure. RJD, another partner of the ruling alliance, remained neutral on the issue.
