Kejriwal asks PM to ensure O2 supply to Delhi

April 23, 2021 12:33

Prime Minister Narendra Modi chairs a meeting with the Chief Ministers of high burden states, over the prevailing COVID-19 situation.

Delhi CM in the meeting with the PM: "There's a huge shortage of oxygen in Delhi. Will people of Delhi not get oxygen if there is no oxygen-producing plant here? Please suggest whom should I speak to in Central Govt when an oxygen tanker destined for Delhi is stopped in another state?"

Offence is the best form of defence, when you are defending the indefensible.

Govt sources tell news agency ANI that Delhi CM Kejriwal used the PM-CM conference on Covid as a platform to play politics. Govt sources say he "chose to spread lies on vaccine prices despite knowing that Centre does not keep one vaccine dose with itself and shares with states only."

Kejriwal, government sources said, raised the point of airlifting oxygen, but did not know that it is already being done. They added, "He spoke about Oxygen express by Railways but Railway sources say that he has not communicated anything about it to Railways."

Govt sources added, "Kejriwal has descended to a new low. For the first time, private conversations of PMs meeting with CM was televised. His entire speech was not meant for any solution but for playing politics and evade responsibility."
