AAP MP Sanjay Singh takes a dig at Bihar CM

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party’s MP Sanjay Singh on Friday accused Bihar government of not fulfilling its obligation to pay the part of fare incurred on migrants returning to the state. He alleged that despite its duty to bear 15 per cent of the travel expenses of migrants it is not paying the dues.

Singh said, “Paying 15 per cent of the fare is the obligation of state government and will be borne by the Delhi government. We are paying for the migrants fare. I am amazed at the attitude of Bihar government towards its people.”

According to a report, the AAP leader also cornered the Centre and said that the government can bring back those stranded in foreign but it should also pay attention to the migrants stuck in various parts of the country. He said that the “callous attitude” of the BJP and its allies towards poor migrants is shocking.

“Look at what the Karnataka government did. They made migrants hostage by not letting them leave. It is the BJP government in the state. BJP is an ally of JDU in Bihar. These people can only know how to indulge in the blame game and keep questioning others,” he said.

“COVID-19 cases are at peak in Maharashtra and Gujarat. We are faring well in dealing with infection cases. We may be at number 3 in cases but we are far below in a number of death cases. We are conducting several tests. Let Maken tell the statistics of testing in Congressruled states as well. He should put the truth forward. We have been able to control death rate,” Singh added.
