Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party Government over the recent Covid deaths due to absence of medical and other facilities, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a campaign ‘Zimmedar Kaun (Who is responsible)’ on Twitter, promising to question the ruling party on a daily basis even as people wanted to know who was responsible for the debacle.
Seeking suggestions from people through Twitter on Wednesday, Priyanka said she would pose daily questions and it was the responsibility of the government to come out with a convincing reply so that people could know who were responsible for the entire trouble caused during the second Covid wave.
Launching the programme, the Congress leader said, “Several lives have been lost due to the Government’s apathy and negligence. So questioning the Government is very necessary. People running the Government must know about their responsibility towards the common man and be answerable towards the trouble and tragedy caused to the public due to their wrong and negligent handling of the crisis.
“At a time when people are struggling with shortage of oxygen, vaccines, hospital beds, medicines, the government is busy with other unimportant work including construction of a new house for the PM at Rs 13,000 crore.”
Priyanka further alleged, “The Government has to answer about import of vaccines, doubling the export of oxygen in 2020, ordering very less vaccines in comparison to the population of the country.”
Meanwhile, Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi sent three truckloads of firewood to enable the poor to cremate their dead family members in Rae Bareli.
