The Delhi BJP on Wednesday held a protest near AAP headquarters here over supply of drugs that failed quality standard tests in Government hospitals and demanded resignations from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj.  Addressing the protesters, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said that another sample failed the test on Wednesday.

“Today, another sample has arrived and that was also found to be fake. The tender for the medicines whose samples were found to be fake had ended,” Sachdeva said.  The protesters also raised slogans against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj.  Delhi police used water canon to disperse BJP workers as they broke police barricades to run towards AAP office and arrested them. The police had made adequate security arrangements and put up barricades.

Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said that in political career spread in over 4 decades he has not seen a government stoop as low as to allow distribution of fake and poor quality medicines in government hospitals like the Arvind Kejriwal government. Despite supply of spurious medicines, they shamelessly defended their act and trying to put blame on the bureaucracy. Kejriwal and Bharadwaj should immediately resigned from their posts and tender apology  to the people of Delhi,’ he said.

Former Union Health Minister Dr Harshvardhan said there is no such scheme in which corruption has not taken place in Kejriwal Government. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said that Kejriwal lied and cheated the poor, women and general public of Delhi and not only this, he is playing with the lives of the poor.  BJP MLA Vijendra Gupta said that Arvind Kejriwal has the biggest hand in the way fake medicines   being distributed in Delhi Government hospitals.
