Imphal, May 27:
The Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) today demanded free treatment for all Covid-19 patients. In a virtual press meet held today through zoom application, spokesperson of the MPCC Bhupenda said that every covid-19 positive patient should be treated at free of cost at either government of private hospital. For that the government should establish a scheme or package.
Talking to media persons, the congress spokesperson questioned the government on the modalities of how a person who are living on hand to mouth will be able to get the Covid treatment using CMHT or PMJAY card. He also attacked the ruling regime about the hospital rate fixed for the private hospital which starts from Rs. 3000 to a minimum of Rs. 10,000 when most people cannot earn Rs. 1500/- a day leaving aside the curfew which is being imposed.
The Congress spokesperson also hit hard to BJP MP Dr. RK Ranjan for trying to put blame to congress party on the management of the COVID crisis saying that the congress is doing all it can while he BJP which is running the government had failed to make any concrete decision or policy to fight this pandemic.
In connection with the inauguration of Covid care hospital by the Chief Minister at Keirao yesterday, Bhupenda alleged that the hospital was initially constructed as TB Hospital. He said that the so called Covid hospital as announced by the Chief Minister is a blatant lei and no COVID hospital has so far not been constructed in the state.
