Chandigarh, May 18
Reacting to the hypocrisy of Captain Amarinder Singh, who after waking up from slumber was intending to become a false messiah of the people struggling with Covid, by communicating with the sarpanches of Punjab; the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA and Kissan Wing Punjab president Kultar Singh Sandhwan said that instead of deceptive ‘Mann ki Baat’ with sarpanches, the Chief Minister must apologise for failing to tackle the Covid-19 outbreak in the state. Also, instead of making big claims, the Captain government should issue orders to provide financial assistance to poor, shopkeepers and laborers sitting at home, he added.
In a statement issued from the party headquarters here on Tuesday, Kultar Singh Sandhwan said that the Chief Minister of the state had interacted with the sarpanches from his farmhouse for the first time in his four and a half years in power. “This shows that even Captain Amarinder Singh has gone on the path of Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s ‘Mann Ki Baat‘ after completely failing to deal with the Covid pandemic, which is nothing more than a drama,” he added. Criticising the Captain government, Sandhwan said that the condition of poor health facilities in government hospitals in the state was that the people were struggling with lack of Fateh kits, oxygen and medicines.
Taking a dig at the Captain government, Sandhwan said that while the Punjab government had failed to make adequate arrangements; the ventilators sent by the central government were also faulty. He said that the government had no provision to save the lives of common people. “On the other hand, the owners of private hospitals backed by Congress and Akali leaders are exploiting the Covid victims financially in the name of treatment and the Captain government is not taking any action against these hospitals,” he added.
The AAP leader said that instead of placing the responsibility of dealing with the Covid pandemic on the people of the state, the Captain government should discuss its inefficiency and apologise to the people for the failures. Sandhwan appealed to the Chief Minister to investigate the mismanagement in the government hospitals and immediately recruit a large number of doctors and medical staff to improve the health services in the state.
