While the Congress seeks justice for COVID victims, BJP ministers want the people’s blessings
Though Assembly elections in Gujarat are more than a year away, political parties have begun outreach campaigns, each with a series of yatras across the State. Seeking justice or nayay for the families of those who died of COVID-19 infection in Gujarat, the State Congress unit launched a yatra to meet all bereaved families. The opposition party has also demanded ₹4 lakh compensation from the BJP-ruled State government for COVID victims since the outbreak in March 2020. Officially, 10,078 people have died of the viral infection as per the data of the State Health Department. However, estimates based on data from local authorities, crematoriums and other sources say the actual toll could be upto a dozen times higher.
