Delhi's hospitals for Delhiites: Kejriwal's order earned him flak
Just yesterday, Kejriwal came at the center of criticism after he said beds in state government-run and private hospitals will only be reserved for Delhi's residents, till the coronavirus crisis subsides. This order was not extended to Central government-operated facilities like AIIMS, Safdarjung or RML Hospital. Private hospitals that indulge in specialized surgeries were also exempt from this order.
He is a little fatigued, will be well soon: AAP
When reached out for a comment, AAP told NewsBytes, "He (Kejriwal) is just a little fatigued, these are stressful times will be fine soon, just don't worry, your CM is a small little tough guy."
Congress leader said Kejriwal should be ashamed of this order
Congress' Gaurav Pandhi tweeted that the Delhi government should be ashamed of passing such an order. Calling it the biggest failure of the AAP government, he said before Kejriwal became the state's CM, he and his family members weren't Delhi's residents either. And BJP's Arti Mehra called the order "tughlaki" while reminding Kejriwal of his movement to Delhi.
