Congress members said the Sanitizer Scam took place in the state secretariat under the nose of the government and people were suffocating without having Oxygen cylinder in the Hospital. The Centre Government was late to announce the lockdown in time as it was busy organising ‘Nameste Trump’ and indulged in toppling Madhya Pradesh Congress rule. Members said ruling BJP did not not mention anything about its vision document(manifesto of BJP). Health Minsiter Rajiv Sehjal pointed out that the member stated in the house that the Govt left people to die in the hospital during Covid management and should be deleted from the proceedings from the assembly.

He said Congress prime ministers including Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi laid their lives for the cause of the nation.
