Targeted the government

Gandhi wrote on ‘Instagram’, ‘Burden of disease, chilling cold and government insensitivity. Today I met patients and their families outside AIIMS, who have come from far and wide in the hope of getting treatment.’ Gandhi said, ‘On the way to treatment, they are forced to sleep on roads, footpaths and subways – just keeping a flame of hope burning amidst cold ground, hunger, and inconveniences. Both the Central and Delhi governments have completely failed in fulfilling their responsibility towards the public.’

Congress shared pictures

Apart from this, Congress has also shared pictures of Rahul Gandhi. Congress wrote on Instagram, ‘Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi met patients and their families outside Delhi AIIMS. People who have come from far and wide for treatment are forced to sleep on roads, footpaths and subways here. The Modi government and the Delhi government have left them to their fate.

‘Waiting for months for treatment’

In another post, Congress wrote, ‘Waiting for months for treatment, inconvenience and insensitivity of the government – this is the reality of Delhi AIIMS today. The situation is such that people coming from far away places carrying the burden of their loved ones’ illness are forced to sleep on footpaths and subways in this freezing cold. Today, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi met those patients waiting for treatment and talked to them and listened to their problems.’
