Covid: Sanjay Raut urges Centre to not hide crisis; Cong demands parallel govt

• Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut urged Centre, state govts to not hide any crisis they are facing. Raut said Maharashtra also faced oxygen shortage but their government controlled the situation. “States including Goa, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, UP, Bihar are facing oxygen shortage. SC created a National Task Force (NTF) to deal with this crisis across the country. Maharashtra also faced oxygen shortage initially but our govt controlled situation. Urge Centre, state govts to not hide any crisis that they are facing due to Covid-19,” he said. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Cong chief Nana Patole slammed Centre over the current Covid situation. Patole urged SC to set up a parallel national govt as Centre failed to protect the nation. He said, “I urge the Supreme Court to set up a parallel national govt at the Centre. BJP chief JP Nadda spoke against Rahul Gandhi & Sonia Gandhi. This was mere frustration of not being able to handle the Covid crisis.”
