Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said that no death was recorded in Delhi's biggest Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) COVID Hospital on Monday.
"No death in our biggest COVID hospital LNJP yesterday," tweeted Kejriwal on Tuesday.
Reacting to this, BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya said the things started to improve only after Home Minister Amit Shah visited the LNJP hospital. He added that Kejriwal did not visit the hospital when it was collapsing.
"But what is your contribution? You didn't even have the courage to visit LNJP when it was collapsing, people dying of COVID and bodies piling up in the morgue... It was only after Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to LNJP that things started to improve. Shah saved Delhi," he said.
