New Delhi News: Slapping the Centre over its COVID-19 pandemic sit handling, Congress leader Mr. Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that 90 percent of the people who have died due to coronavirus infection could have been saved and he added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tears not saved the lives of the Indian citizens but oxygen could have.
The demand for the medical oxygen increased suddenly after a record surge in coronavirus after the hit of 2nd wave of covid-19 cases raised.
