New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday said around 50% of Covid-19 patients in Delhi hospitals are from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, which shows the state of health care infrastructure in the two states.
The party criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments in the two states for the health infrastructure there, and claimed the central government was yet to provide 250 ICU beds in a facility assured on Sunday.
“More than half of the Covid-19 patients in Delhi hospitals are from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
We are happy to provide them with quality health care but this shows the utter failure of the BJP government in these two states in the field of quality health care.
Delhi, on the other hand, has a proper strategy in place,” AAP’s national spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said in a press conference at the party’s head office.
He said, “Despite promising, the Central government is yet to provide 250 ICU beds for the people of Delhi.
BJP ministers found time to put up posters promoting their advocacy, but they could not comply with our request to increase ICU beds.”
After his meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had said the central government assured 750 ICU beds for Delhi, of which 250 would be added in the next two days.
