Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath must be scratching his head in confusion and dismay. He visited Bareilly on Saturday, Union Minister Santosh Kumar Gangwar’s Lok Sabha constituency, to take stock of the Covid situation. The next day, a letter from Gangwar, written on Thursday, surfaced on social media. The letter is a virtual indictment of the Adityanath administration, with the labour and employment minister pointing out shortage of empty oxygen cylinders due to hoarding, black marketing of ventilators and other medical equipment, patients having to run from one place to another for admission in government hospitals, and health officials not taking telephone calls.
