The Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday said that thousands of party workers were helping Covid-19 patients and ensuring that Delhiites got essential items when the lockdown impacted their livelihood. Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta said under the ‘Sewa hi Sangathan’ initiative this work has been going on for the last 39 days and will continue in future as well.
“The Delhi unit of the BJP prepared a doctors’ cell where 5,654 corona patients were treated. “Many patients were provided medicines and doctors’ advice,” Gupta said.
The party has made 17 makeshift hospitals and arranged food packets for patients and their families. “Around 3,68,942 people were given food packets. Similarly, 1,00,895 houses of Corona affected people were given food where there was none to help them. In such houses several people were suffering from the infection whom our workers gave food cooked from their own homes,” the BJP leader said.
Gupta said 4.70 lakh masks were distributed by the party. Besides, 1084 serious patients were admitted to various hospitals. Over 2032 workers donated blood while sanitisers and other equipment were also given.
This social service will continue and our workers help the needy with materials, food and other essentials required in pandemic time.
“2201 households were sent medicine, medical equipment, oxygen cylinders and oxy metres. In 14 districts of the BJP in Delhi and even now thousands of our workers are visiting several homes in their respective localities to enquire about wellbeing of people there,” he added.
