The Congress has accused the State government is trying to gain political mileage by organising events to distribute ex-gratia financial assistance to families of Covid victims.
Goa Pradesh Congress Spokesperson Tulio De Souza has demanded that the State government give compensation on priority to families of Covid victims who died allegedly due to a failure in oxygen supplies at government hospitals.
De Souza was addressing a news conference at the Congress House along with GPCC Vice President Babi Bagkar, Youth Congress President Varad Mardolkar, Youth General Secretary Archit Naik and CCP Corporator Joel Andrade.
De Souza alleged that of the almost 3,299 Covid deaths reported till date, almost 400 patients had died due to shortage of oxygen at GMC hospital.
