Responding to charges by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Mayor of North Delhi Jai Prakash said that the Health Minister of Delhi Government Satyendra Jain is doing politics by saying that Covid patients admitted in Hindu Rao Hospital will be shifted to Delhi Government hospitals.
DDMA has instructed the North Delhi Municipal Corporation via phone to transfer the patients to Delhi Government hospitals in view of the low number of patients at Hindurao Hospital and restore normal services at Hindurao Hospital," he said.
Mayor said that ever since the Hindu Rao Hospital has been converted into a Covid-19 hospital, till date the Delhi government has not given a single penny for the Hindu Rao Hospital. He said that Corporation officials also said in a meeting held with the Delhi Disaster Management Authority that the number of Corona patients in Hindu Rao Hospital is very less.
Jai Prakash further said that the Delhi government wants to financially cripple the corporation by continuously cutting the funds of the Corporation or by not giving the outstanding funds.
