Whileresponding to allegations of AAP Party for not doing anything for COVID-19patients, Mr. Sidhu asked the Aam Admi Party that before raising questions atPunjab Government, I asked them to just take a look at the severe COVID-19situation of Delhi with open eyes. He said that it is a critical and sensitivetime so instead of shattering the confidence of Health Care Workers and FrontLine Workers through their cheap political tantrums, the AAP leaders mustquestion their Party Convener Mr. Arvind Kejriwal that Why he has failed totackle the situation in Delhi thereby putting the precious lives of people inperil ?
AAPowes answer to people as why innocent patients are dying due tonon-availability of beds and treatment in hospitals.
