Stop using Covid deaths for political mileage: RG

PANAJI

After the High Court flayed the Goa government, Chief of Revolutionary Goans Manoj Parab has said that the court has exposed the incapability of the government. 

Time and again the government has put forth excuses for not being aware of the situation with regards to the oxygen crisis. This has been going on for the past month and Goans are suffering due to the failure of the government, Parab said. 

Parab also came down heavily on GMC Dean, the Health Minister and CM Pramod Sawant and said that there is no answer as to why there is no oxygen available. 

"Every day people are losing their lives and we can't understand why we do not have enough oxygen. Goa being a small state we shouldn't have faced such a struggle. Where is the accountability of the deaths due to shortage of oxygen? Is this what people have to face at this time?" asked Parab.

Parab also slammed Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate for starting a blame game against the health minister and questioned: "What has Babush done being an MLA during this crisis?”.

"Babush is talking about the deaths for his political gain?" Parab added.
