A Gujarat BJP MLA came under fire from the opposition Congress after a video went viral on Sunday showing him filling a syringe with Remdesivir injection for a patient at a community COVID-19 care centre at Sarthana in Surat.
In the video, V.D. Zalavadiya, who represents Kamrej Assembly constituency in Surat, is seen filling a syringe with a vial of Remdesivir before transferring it to a drip bottle, to be administered to a COVID-19 patient.
Congress spokesperson Jayrajsinh Parmar criticised him for the act, and said Gujarat Health Minister Nitin Patel should get inspiration from the MLA and open a centre to train BJP workers in administering injections, which would also address the issue of acute shortage of medical staff in State hospitals.
