A middle-aged couple from Uttar Pradesh travelled 850km to Bengal and got admitted to a private hospital in Chinsurah after six hospitals turned them away in their home state, citing an oxygen scarcity that chief minister Yogi Adityanath refuses to admit.
The couple are from Ayodhya, the theatre of the BJP’s ascent that is set to have a Ram temple to satisfy the party’s ambitions but whose people, like their peers elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh, find life-saving oxygen hard to come by in a crisis.
Sources said Lalji Yadav, 50, and wife Rekha, 48, had begun their journey from Ayodhya by ambulance on Thursday after relatives in Mogra, Hooghly, advised them to come to Bengal and arranged two hospital beds in nearby Chinsurah.
