New Delhi:
Union minister of state for health and family welfare Faggan Singh Kulaste on Sunday said Gorakhpur hospital tragedy “may be a conspiracy of someone.”
While talking to media, he said,” If we compare the data before and after August 9, the data between 9-12 August clearly shows that there was a pressure in the hospital and it led to several deaths.”
Earlier in the day, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that exemplary action would be taken against those found responsible for the scores of deaths in BRD Medical College.
