Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Monday said that the Centre must intervene in Delhi government's decision to not allow treatment of people from outside the city in the hospitals in the national capital, except those run by the Union government.
"Delhi is the capital of the country. People from all over the country come here for their important work. In such a situation, if a person suddenly falls ill, then it is very unfortunate that the Delhi government will not allow him to be treated in its hospitals, saying that he is not from the city. The Centre must intervene in this matter," the BSP chief tweeted (translated from Hindi).
2. दिल्ली देश की राजधानी है। यहाँ पूरे देश से लोग अपने जरूरी कार्यों से आते रहते हैं। ऐसे में यदि कोई व्यक्ति अचानक बीमार पड़ जाता है तो उसको यह कहकर कि वह दिल्ली का नहीं है इसलिए दिल्ली सरकार उसका इलाज नहीं होने देगी, यह अति-दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण। केन्द्र को इसमें जरूर दखल देना चाहिये।

She also urged people to avoid travel during the relaxation period of lockdown being implement from today.
"Under Unlock-1, people should strictly follow the government rules to go to whichever places and markets that are being opened from today. If it is very important, then only people should go there, otherwise, they should avoid it. This is the advice of BSP in the public interest," the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister tweeted.
