BJP rebuffs Tejashwi Yadav's 'COVID Care Centre' gesture, questions RJD's intent

BJP on Wednesday mocked RJD leer Tejashwi Yav's gesture of converting his government residence in Patna to a COVID Care Centre amid COVID-19 crisis. Writing on Twitter, former Bihar Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi questioned RJD on why Tejashwi's two sisters, who are doctors, h t served people during pandemic period. Moreover, he contended that Lalu Pras Yav-led party would have taken permission from state government before starting hospital if it was seriously concerned about welfare of poor.

BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi ted, "A place does t become a hospital only by putting up beds in absence of doctors, equipment and health workers". He ded, "Inste of a government residence, Tejashwi Yav should have converted one of several illegally acquired houses in Patna into a COVID hospital where poor can be treated for poor. Why didn't RJD open a hospital in 'Manjila Bhavan' gifted by Kanti Devi to Tejashwi Yav in lieu of becoming a Minister or one of 10 flats owned by Rabri Devi?"
