Uttar Pradesh chief minister, Yogi Adityanath visited BRD Medical College in his constituency, Gorakhpur on Sunday, where around 70 children lost lives due to shortage of oxygen supply in the hospital. He said, “nobody can be more sensitive towards those children than me”.
He also said that ‘those whose sensitivity has died are now trying to add salt to the wound by raising the sensitive issue unnecessarily’.
“When Ghulam N Azad was Union health minister, he came here and said that we can’t do anything in the matter because it is the state’s matter: the CM further stated.
Yogi Adityanath said that he is waiting for the reports of probe committee to come. He assured action against those who would be found guilty in the matter.
Adityanath had earlier said that “he has asked a team of top ministers to determine if the death of the children was actually due to a disruption in oxygen supply at the hospital and assured to “not spare anyone found guilty”.
“We have suspended the principal of the BRD Medical College and taking him guilty for his actions and an investigation on him has already been ordered and is underway. Those found guilty won’t be spared”, he added.
