Guwahati News Desk: Chief Minister of Assam Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma slams Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who have been exposed by the panel set up for the oxygen audit in the national capital Delhi on Friday.
Assam CM Sarma tweeted, “The lies of @ArvindKejriwal have been exposed by the panel set up for the oxygen audit of Delhi. Despite PM @narendramodi ji’s efforts to end the pandemic, Kejriwal constantly lied and inflated oxygen need by fourfold. He has blood on his hands and must face actions”.
The oxygen audit committee set up by the Supreme Court during the second wave of COVID-19 in the national capital concluded that the Delhi government sought four time more oxygen than what is required during the last couple of months.
According to the audit report, it was said that the actual requirement of oxygen during the second wave pandemic is needed about 300 metric tonnes of oxygen at that time but the government raised the demand to 1200 metric tonnes of oxygen.
Such a huge requirement of oxygen in the capital city has created a hovac situation among the localities.
Union Minister of Railways Piyush Goyal said on Tweeter, “SC oxygen audit team finds Delhi Govt inflated oxygen need by 4 times during peak & affected supply to 12 high caseload states. Hope accountability is fixed for disrupting oxygen supply across India.”
