Can we work if our fight over oxygen done? Arvind Kejriwal's COVID-19 third wave message to Centre
New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday expressed his wish to join hands with the Centre to take steps to tackle the third COVID-19 wave, amid a bitter tussle between the city government and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the oxygen crisis.
"If the fight over oxygen is over, can we work a bit? Let us together make a system so that no one has to suffer due to the oxygen crisis during the third wave. People suffered due to the oxygen crisis during the second wave. Now this should not happen during the third wave.
"If we fight amongst ourselves then coronavirus will win. If we fight together, the country will win."
ऑक्सिजन पर आपका झगड़ा खतम हो गया हो तो थोड़ा काम कर लें?

आइए मिलकर ऐसी व्यवस्था बनाते हैं कि तीसरी वेव में किसी को ऑक्सिजन की कमी ना हो। दूसरी लहर में लोगों को ऑक्सिजन की भीषण कमी हुई।अब तीसरी लहर में ऐसा ना हो।
आपस में लड़ेंगे तो करोना जीत जाएगा। मिलकर लड़ेंगे तो देश जीतेगा
The tussle occurred on Friday after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP cited a purported report by a panel of the Supreme Court to claim the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi had exaggerated the oxygen requirement by four times at the peak of COVID-19 crisis.
Four Delhi hospitals have allegedly been called out for excess demand of oxygen.
Facing criticism, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia raised questions about the existence of a Supreme Court panel report.
Sisodia said, "The so-called report does not exist. The BJP is lying. The Oxygen Audit Committee appointed by the Supreme Court has not approved any report yet. So from where the report is coming?"
He added, "I challenge the BJP leaders to furnish the report they are talking about. There is a limit to lying."
