On oxygen shortage, West Bengal BJP Chief said the center has already streamlined the process for supplying oxygen to states.
While the entire country is reeling under the fury of coronavirus and is on top of the priority concern list of each state, West Bengal has divided attention with much-hyped state assembly polling taking place in the state.
Election Commission of India banned vehicle rallies and roadshows in West Bengal on Thursday, citing failure by political parties to maintain covid norms and safety precautions. So far, polling in six phases has taken place and only two phases remain in West Bengal.
Dilip Ghosh while arguing that political rallies have no impact on coronavirus cases rise in West Bengal, welcomed ECE`s decision to stop rallies.
"The reality is that Bengal is 8th out of 10 states where corona cases are highest. So if it was spreading due to election (rallies) then numbers would have been different," said Dilip Ghosh.
He further said, "Top three states like Delhi, Maharashtra, and Chattishgarh are not holding any rallies or elections but have highest (coronavirus) patients. It is a matter of investigation but I think the Election Commission has taken the right step at right time."
"We are running oxygen express trains and supply is being streamlined. There has been a sudden rise in covid cases so there are such hiccups. But people (political parties) who could not give any PPE kit to doctors or provide ration to their people now have no right to raise their voice on this," he said.
