The Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical college saw over 68 people including children, infants slipping to their death in six days due to lack of oxygen supply. Earlier on Saturday, as Yogi Adityanath spoke to the Prime Minister and apprised him of the situation, the Opposition demanded the expulsion of state health and medical education ministers. Amid soaring discourse that his visit to the BRD Medical college few days back was vacuous, the CM said that he was not informed about any kind of shortage in the hospital. Meanwhile, members of the Youth Congress rallied in bereavement and in angry protest against the tragedy outside the BRD Medical College.
