The State government led by Mr. Adityanath has continuously maintained there is no shortage of oxygen supply in any private or government hospital in Uttar Pradesh. Mr. Singh said the large number of cases came about as a result of the negligence during the elections. The situation is really bad in my district,” Mr. Singh told The Hindu. On April 26, BJP MP from Meerut Rajendra Agarwal wrote that all private and government hospitals in Meerut were dealing with a shortage of oxygen. He added that given the rise in the number of cases, oxygen requirement would also go up.
