"This Is On You": Rahul Gandhi Slams Centre Over Oxygen, ICU Beds Shortage

Over the past few days, several hospitals have flagged a crisis of oxygen supply, beds and medicines amid rising Covid cases.

Lack of medical oxygen and ICU beds at hospitals were resulting in the deaths of Covid patients and the government should take responsibility for the same, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said today shortly after India reported a daily new high of 2,263 deaths due to the deadly disease. Corona can cause a fall in oxygen level but it's #OxygenShortage & lack of ICU beds which is causing many deaths.GOI, this is on you. Mr Gandhi said that while the disease can lead to a dip in oxygen levels of a patient, it was the shortage of oxygen supply and the lack of ICU beds in hospital that were behind the rise in deaths due to the virus. "Corona can cause a fall in oxygen level but it's #OxygenShortage & lack of ICU beds which is causing many deaths," Mr Gandhi tweeted.
