Akhilesh Pratap Singh, Congress spokesperson, also went on an attack at the Uttar Pradesh government over the condition at quarantine centre and said, “This is the role model city of Agra which is now being addressed as ‘Wuhan’ of India. People are treated like animals in quarantine centres. Whose role model is this city? You can very well guess.”
