Manish Sisodia said Delhi currently has more than double the number of hospital beds it needs.
New Delhi:
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Thursday that the projection of 5.5 lakh of coronavirus cases in the capital at the end of July came from the central government and that he shared it with the public to alert people. His clarification came after Union Minister Amit Shah said that Mr. Sisodia’s statement had created fear among the people.
“No one can predict what will happen tomorrow, but all the projections that were shared on the Indian government portal, I shared it on June 8. I thought it was important to share with the public because the public must also be alert. It can also be a different perspective, “Sisodia told GalacticGaming.
Interior Minister Amit Shah said the center should “intervene” after Sisodia’s comment and also assured that Delhi would not have 5.5 cases of lakhs by July 31.
“Around the second week of June, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that by July 31, 5.5 lakh people would be infected with the virus. He said he didn’t There would be more space and more beds and the situation would be difficult. This has created a lot of fear in the minds of the people of Delhi, “Shah said in an interview with the ANI news agency.
“I don’t want to know if the estimate is good or bad. But a situation of fear has arisen and some people have started to think about the exodus. Managing the COVID situation in Delhi is the business of the Delhi government. But after the Sisodia declaration, I felt that the center had to intervene, “he added.
Responding to the charge, the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi said: “As long as the people of Delhi are safe, I don’t care who takes the credit. The safety of the residents of Delhi is paramount, the rest is politics.”
“No government is competent to deal with the situation alone. Everyone needs everyone. To say that we can manage alone will be very arrogant on the part of a government.[LeministreenchefArvindKejriwalestallélesjoinsesaucaucaucààRWA(Residents’WelfareAssociation)etàtout”declaredMSisodia[ChiefMinisterArvindKejriwalwentwithfoldedhandstothecentreRWA(Residents’WelfareAssociation)andeveryone”MrSisodiasaid[LeministreenchefArvindKejriwalestallélesmainsjointesaucentreàlaRWA(Residents’WelfareAssociation)etàtous”adéclaréMSisodia[ChiefMinisterArvindKejriwalwentwithfoldedhandstothecentreRWA(Residents’WelfareAssociation)andeveryone”MrSisodiasaid
