CHANDIGARH/LUDHIANA: SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Thursday accused AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal of lying brazenly on health sector achievements in Delhi while stating that RTI queries clearly revealed that health facilities in the national capital were a disaster and the worst in the country.
The SAD president was speaking at an event held to induct former Rajya Sabha MP Varinder Singh Bajwa back into the party from the Congress. He also announced Bajwa’s appointment as senior vice-president in the party.
“Delhi became a national health disaster under Kejriwal especially, on the Covid front. Kejriwal had presided over the total collapse of the health infrastructure in Delhi and should not try to mouth lies and mislead Punjabis with false promises when he had failed to achieve anything,” he said Sukhbir. About the AAP leader’s “second guarantee”, Sukhbir said, “It is astonishing that Kejriwal is simply repeating in Hindi what has already been announced by the SAD on August 3.”
He said RTI information revealed that the AAP government in Delhi had not added a single new hospital or bed from 2015 to 2019.
