New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was on Monday slammed by the Opposition BJP and the Congress for announcing that the borders of the national capital will be sealed for a week as the coronavirus cases are rising, saying blaming outsiders will not cover up the crumbling health care facilities.
BJP MP Gautam Gambhir said termed the announcement as dictatorial.
“Just to hide your FAILURE, you want to punish innocent people merely because they live across the border? Those are INDIANS just like you and me! You promised of being ready for 30,000 patients in April, remember? Why ask such leading questions now Mr. Tughlaq?” he tweeted.
The Congress said that this is “Kejriwal Corona Blame Game”, IANS adds.
Former Union Minister Ajay Maken said, “While just blaming outsiders for crumbling Delhi health care facilities and sealing the borders. Would the borders be sealed for 630 admitted at AIIMS Jhajjar (Haryana) out of a total of 2,395 hospitalised Delhi COVID patients, when they come back?”
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has sought suggestions from the people through WhatsApp or email till 5 p.m. on Friday, saying he also needs suggestions and guidance on whether Delhi government hospitals should be reserved for the residents of Delhi.
Addressing the media on Monday, Kejriwal said until now, his government was able to do so much work in Delhi because of the support of the people and their trust, saying the guidance of the people made him implement many important decisions in the city.
