Lashing out at Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for her remark over the sacking of ambulance drivers, Cabinet minister and Uttar Pradesh government spokesperson Sidharth Nath Singh said that instead of understanding the matter she was supporting people who were creating hurdles in public service.
Launching a scathing attack on the Congress scion, Singh said that it was difficult to comprehend how could a leader like Priyanka behave irresponsibly and post anything on social media without knowing the exact matter and misleading the public, adding that she was trying to sensationalise something that was not sensational at all.
Clarifying that the state government had nothing to do with it, Singh also said that neither the ambulance drivers were government employees nor they were fired by the government.
“All the drivers are company employees and they were dismissed by them,” he said.
“Such statements only prove that Priyanka does not do her homework before trying to malign the image of the state government which has done a tremendous job in controlling the second wave of COVID-19,” he added. “At this hour when everyone should show their support towards the government, Congress is just trying to mislead people and create a situation of panic through such irresponsible statements’.
“Priyanka comes to Uttar Pradesh only for tourism and has nothing to do with the people,” Singh added.
