Ghaziabad: AAP MP Sanjay Singh on Saturday said the Union government should postpone the Bihar Assembly elections and instead focus on tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyday, one lakh cases of coronavirus are being detected and around one thousand people are dying but the government is concentrating on elections, Singh said. Assuring the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) support to the agitating farmers, Singh said he would raise all their valid demands in the next session of the Rajya Sabha.
