Stating that there is an “oxygen emergency” in Uttar Pradesh amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday advised chief minister Yogi Adityanath to recognise the seriousness of the situation and immediately start working for saving the lives of people.
Adityanath, in his previous statement, warned those who are spreading rumors about oxygen shortage in the state and said properties of those spreading rumours of oxygen shortage will be seized.
Asserting that there is no shortage of oxygen in any private or public COVID-19 hospital in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath on Saturday had said that the state government would conduct an audit of the life-saving gas in collaboration with various institutes.
Tagging a media report on his remarks, Priyanka Gandhi, in a tweet in Hindi, said, “Just imagine yourself in the place of those patients who are told that they will not get admission due to lack of oxygen. ”Oxygen is low, take your patient”.”
Reacting to this, Gandhi tweeted: “Chief minister, there is oxygen emergency all over Uttar Pradesh. You have to put a case on me, seize the property, so do. But for the sake of god, recognise the seriousness of the situation and immediately start the work of saving the lives of the people.
