Sisodia Claims ‘BJP Pressure’ After LG Reverses Delhi Govt. Order To Reserve Hospitals For Residents

Once again the Centre vs State row has brewed as Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal overturned the Delhi government's order to reserve Delhi hospitals for residents.

The L-G made it clear that the Supreme Court had “invariably held in several successive judgments that ‘Right to Health’ is an integral part of ‘Right to Life’ under Article 21 of the Constitution”. 

According to the new order of the L-G, now any person can get treatment in Delhi hospitals.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has retaliated against LG Anil Baijal. He accused the BJP of putting pressure on the L-G.

Mr Sisodia accused the BJP of putting pressure on Mr Baijal. “BJP-run state governments are busy with PPE kit scams and ventilator scams. Delhi government is trying to manage this disaster thoughtfully and honestly. BJP can’t accept this and that is why they are doing these cheap politics by putting pressure on the LG,” he tweeted.

बीजेपी की राज्य सरकारें PPE किट घोटालों और वेंटिलेटर घोटालों में व्यस्त हैं. दिल्ली सरकार सोच समझकर, ईमानदारी से इस डिज़ास्टर को मैनेज करने की कोशिश कर रही है. यह बीजेपी से देखा नहीं जा रहा इसलिए LG पर दबाव डालकर घटिया राजनीति की है. https://t.co/65l87GZfi3

CM Arvind Kejriwal is on the back foot after this decision. The CM said the L-G’s order has “created a major problem and challenge for Delhiites.”

Providing treatment during the Corona epidemic is a big challenge for people coming from all over the country. Perhaps it is God's will that we serve the people of the whole country.

LG साहिब के आदेश ने दिल्ली के लोगों के लिए बहुत बड़ी समस्या और चुनौती पैदा कर दी है

देशभर से आने वाले लोगों के लिए करोना महामारी के दौरान इलाज का इंतज़ाम करना बड़ी चुनौती है।शायद भगवान की मर्ज़ी है कि हम पूरे देश के लोगों की सेवा करें।हम सबके इलाज का इंतज़ाम करने की कोशिश करेंगे
