Kejriwal stooping too low to play base-level politics tocover up his own failures in checking the upsurge of the Covid-19 pandemic inDelhi

AAJ KI DELHI / INDIAN NEWS ONLINE :

NEW DELHI, June 6, 2020---Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ch. Anil Kumar accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of stooping too low to play base-level politics by blaming private hospitals to cover up his absolute failure in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic in Delhi, which has seen a sharp upsurge in the last one week, as Delhi scales up to the third position in overall Corona cases in the country. Ch. Anil Kumar said that it took Kejriwal over three months, after the first Corona case was reported in Delhi on 2^nd March, 2020, to realize that the private hospitals were doing “black marketing” of beds for Corona patients at premium costs, when the Corona pandemic has gone out of the hands of the Delhi Government. Ch Anil Kumar said that by blaming the private hospitals and admitting his helplessness, Kejriwal was trying to gain sympathy from the people, though the people of Delhi had seen through his lies and deceit a long time ago.

Ch. Anil Kumar said that the Delhi Congress had time and again been bringing up the issue of private hospitals extorting money from the patients, as with the treatment facilities in Government hospitals in a disarray, people were forced to seek treatment from private hospitals, which resorted to cash in on the misery of the people on account of the Covid pandemic, but Kejriwal gave no heed to the suggestions and complaints by the Opposition parties as he chose to act like an autocratic. He said that due to Kejriwal’s unilateral decisions, the people of Delhi are being forced to pay a heavy price as the Corona pandemic seems to have gone out of control of the Kejriwal Government.

Ch. Anil Kumar said that if Kejriwal refused to take constructive suggestions and finds himself cornered from all sides now with the Corona pandemic spreading like wild fire in the Capital, he alone was  responsible for the present mess. He said that despite the launch of the Delhi Corona App by the Delhi Government, if the private hospitals are still not giving beds to Corona patients, it was solely because of the incompetence and ineptness of the Kejriwal Government. 

Ch. Anil Kumar said that instead of accepting his own failures and incompetence in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic, Kejriwal  is now blaming  private hospitals for not admitting Corona patients. He said that Delhi Congress has been appealing to the Kejriwal Government that Covid treatment should be made free for all, both in Government and private hospitals, but he did not listen to the  Congress plea.Ch. Anil Kumar said that Kejriwal used to boast about the AAP Government’s “achievements” on the health sector during the elections, but when confronted with a challenging situation, his lies were thoroughly exposed.

Ch Anil Kumar said that the health sector has been in a total mess in the Capital, which the Congress has been pointing out for the past many months. He asked Kejriwal where are those additional beds in hospitals, the new hospitals the AAP Government had supposed to have constructed and the “much-acclaimed” Mohalla Clinics the Kejriwal Government had setup, as these were not to be seen anywhere when the people of Delhi needed them the most.
