However, there was no response from Medanta director Rakesh Kapoor on the development. "When people are dying in this pandemic for lack of treatment and doctor, health workers and doctors are posted for election duty. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath should answer on whose direction is this happening and take action against those responsible,” Lallu said in another tweet.

He said the party is diligently helping those in need of oxygen and other crucial equipment amid the COVID-19 pandemic. "We have also sent oxygen concentrators to many requiring the life-saving gas at their homes," the Congress leader added.
