‘Kejriwal has been creating negativity’
The BJP on Wednesday accused the Delhi government of lying, politicising and making U-turns on various aspects of COVID management in the Capital, ranging from the availability of oxygen and medicines to vaccination, creating “an atmosphere of fear”.
“Ever since the vaccination drive started in January this year, he [Arvind Kejriwal] has been creating negativity about the vaccines. Before that, he would say that one has to be cautious and fight the pandemic together. I want to ask him, of the 51,41,090 vaccinations done in Delhi so far, what is his contribution,” Mr. Gupta alleged.
Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri accused Mr. Kejriwal of “misinforming and misguiding” the people. “When the Centre was giving free vaccines, he was talking about procuring it directly from manufacturers and when the Centre gave States permission to do so, Mr. Kejriwal was busy in publicity,” he alleged.

The BJP on Monday alleged that the average Delhi citizen was cheated and looted by hospitals in the past 15 months due to alleged mismanagement and negligence of the Delhi government.
Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta, Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri and spokesperson Richa Pandey Mishra alleged that the Delhi government had been patronising a “nexus” both overtly and covertly.
“When the pandemic was setting its feet fast in the Capital and the matter about private hospitals fleecing people in the name of treatment came to the fore, at the intervention of Centre, the State government issued a circular fixing rates for beds in these hospitals,” Mr. Gupta said.
