Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Tuesday accused the Delhi government of aiding and abetting the black marketing of Remdesivir injections in the Capital. He demanded that these be distributed to patients through hospitals and not chemists as it had led to massive escalation in its price and non-availability for the common man.
Mr. Bidhuri said the Delhi government got a supply of 72,000 Remdesivir injections on April 24, priced at ₹1,800 per injection. However, instead of distributing it to patients at ICU in the hospitals as recommended by its doctors, the Delhi government was instead pushing patients’ loved ones to go around to 30 chemists leading to black marketing and escalation in the price of the injection.
Bidhuri said the Delhi government should increase the number of tests which is considered one of the most effective ways to fight Covid
NEW DELHI: Leader of opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Sunday said the Kejriwal government has been reducing the number of Covid tests in the last few days to hide the true numbers of Covid infected population.
“The number of Covid tests which crossed one lakh a few days ago has now been brought down to 75,000 by the AAP government. This is being done under a plan to show less number of infected people. However, Covid cases have continued to rise and imagine if more than one lakh tests were carried out, what would be the true picture of the crisis in Delhi,” Bidhuri said in a statement, adding that the number of tests was being reduced purposely to hide the government’s failure in controlling the Covid situation.
