Deputy Chief Minister and state Health Minister Nitin Patel had launched an announcement on Wednesday night accusing the Congress of doing politics through the pandemic and “trying to mislead the people”.
In his letter addressed to Rupani, Gohil stated, “After receiving several phone calls for help from people, I released a video statement as a responsible public figure to bring your attention towards the people who are facing difficulties during the pandemic. I had not made any political allegations but stated the reality. But instead of taking my remarks positively, a minister in your government went ahead with a press conference claiming that all is well in the state and Congress is only doing politics. I am saddened by the turn of events. For your perusal, I am attaching video links of footage from Bhavnagar civil hospital where Covid patients can be seen waiting for beds. I had personally enquired about ICU beds in SVP hospital and other private hospitals in Ahmedabad to which I received no as an answer after which I released a video comment. It is shameful that instead of dealing with the ground realities positively, the state government is accusing Congress party of doing politics (Sic).”
Gohil additional steered the state authorities introduce a state helpline desk.
“I am still getting phone calls from people regarding shortage of ventilators, ICU beds, medicines and injections and RT PCR tests. I humbly suggest you to set up a helpline desk at your office with a responsible operator person in charge who can provide reliable information to the persons so that I can redirect the people who are approaching me (sic),” stated Gohil.
