SC report claiming Delhi inflated oxygen requirement does not exist: Manish Sisodia

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has hit back at the BJP, saying the Supreme Court-appointed oxygen audit committee has not submitted any report. His comments came after BJP leaders slammed the AAP government, citing the report which allegedly said that Delhi inflated its oxygen requirement by four times during the second COVID-19 wave.

Sisodia accused the BJP of lying. "There is no such report. We have spoken to the members of the oxygen audit committee formed by the Supreme Court. They said they have not signed or approved any such report," the Aam Aadmi Party leader said.

He further said that the BJP is presenting a false report that it prepared at its party headquarters. "I challenge them to present such a report which has signatures of the members of the oxygen audit committee," Sisodia said.

"By doing this, the BJP is not abusing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, but those who lost their family members due to oxygen shortage when coronavirus cases were at its peak," he said, adding that the Union government's mismanagement "led to the oxygen crisis".
