Leaders of Opposition parties on Wednesday paid tributes to people who had contracted the COVID-19 virus and died due to shortage of oxygen supply.
Party leaders from the TDP, Congress, and Left parties lit candles at their homes and paid homage to the victims.
A.P. Congress Committee president S. Sailajanath alleged that thousands of people had lost their lives due to the mishandling of the pandemic by the Centre and the State governments. Acute shortage of oxygen supply was resulting in deaths of hapless virus victims while the governments were trying to shirk responsibility by merely announcing ex gratia to the victims’ families, he said.

The protests headed by leaders of the Amaravati Parirakshana Samithi Joint Action Committee (JAC) in support of their demand that the YSRCP government drop its three-capital formula and allow Amaravati to continue as the single capital of the State, will complete 500 days on Friday.
Coinciding with the occasion, leaders of JAC and other organisations wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to impress upon Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to withdraw the move of shifting the State capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam.

The A.P. Congress Committee President S. Sailajanath on Tuesday said the Centre and the State governments had failed miserably in containing the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement, the Congress leader said there was a wide gap between the government claims on the pandemic and the ground realities. “Keeping in mind the grim situation in the country, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has aptly advised the BJP-led Modi government at the Centre to shun politics and start working with commitment to protect the lives of the hapless people,” he said, adding that Mr. Gandhi was trying to help the victims of the virus by reaching out to them through control rooms set up by the Congress party across the country with helpline numbers.
