Rahul Gandhi had slammed the Centre over opening bids for Central Vista Project amid Covid crisis
New Delhi:
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today urged the central government to focus on vaccines, oxygen and other health services amid the COVID-19 pandemic instead of “spending on PR and unnecessary projects”.
Rahul Gandhi’s remarks come a day after he questioned the government’s priority in going ahead with the Central Vista project in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rahul Gandhi on Friday questioned the government’s priority in going ahead with the central vista project in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. He alleged that this happening when there are “no tests being done, vaccines are not available and there is shortage of oxygen and ICU beds in the country.”
“COVID crisis. No Tests. No Vaccine. No Oxygen. No ICU…Priorities,” he had tweeted, attaching a news item that said the government has invited bids for three secretariat buildings under the central vista project.

In a tweet in Hindi today, Rahul Gandhi appealed to the Centre to focus on vaccines, oxygen and other health services instead of “spending on PR and unnecessary projects”.
“This crisis will deepen in the coming days. The country has to be prepared to deal with this. The current plight is unbearable!” the former Congress chief said.
सद्भाव से केंद्र सरकार से अपील है कि PR व अनावश्यक प्रॉजेक्ट पर खर्च करने की बजाए वैक्सीन, ऑक्सीजन व अन्य स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं पर ध्यान दें।
आने वाले दिनों में ये संकट और भी गहरायेगा। इससे निबटने के लिए देश को तैयार करना होगा।
वर्तमान दुर्दशा असहनीय है!
