Impressed by work of Uttar Presh's Chief Minister Yogi ityanath, Member of Australian Parliament Craig Kelly on Friday expressed desire to 'loan' BJP leer to 'sort out mess' created in COVID pandemic.

Earlier in year,  World Health Organization (WHO) has praised work of Uttar Presh government by surveillance, tracing, and testing of COVID-19 patients.
