Priyanka again slams UP govt over COVID ‘mismanagement’

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Sunday slammed the Uttar Pradesh government again over what she dubbed as its "mismanagement" of the coronavirus crisis even as the number of corona cases in the state rose to 47,036.

"CM saheb and his officers are saying that there are beds and everything is alright in the fight against COVID. But reports say something else -- that the government preparations are inadequate; and to hide their failures, they have adopted a policy of putting a veil on it.

"Patients are worried, health workers are worried, and the head of the government says that it's the weakest virus of the century and is running away from responsibility," the Congress leader remarked.

She asked people to just have a look at the condition of hospitals in Bareilly to understand what all she was saying.
