Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriewal said non-Delhi residents will not be able to access Delhi government healthcare for Covid-19, and Lt Governor Anil Baijal overruled the decision and ordered Delhi government hospitals to treat all patients. <em>APN<\/em>\u2019s popular debate\u00a0<em>Mudda<\/em>\u00a0discussed the issue with BJP\u2019s Anand Sahu, Congress\u2019s Ajay Arora, AAP\u2019s Vanshraj Dubey, political expert Niranjan Poddar and <em>APN<\/em> Editor Ajay Kaul.<\/p>\n<p>Sahu said: \u201cThe Delhi chief minister\u2019s decision was irresponsible, so it was overturned by the Lt Governor. Delhi belongs to everyone and such discrimination as Kejriwal proposed will not work. People know Kejriwal more for his wrong decisions than for any good work done by him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vanshraj Dubey: \u201cIt was an expert team that had advised the Delhi CM in view of the likelihood of cases rising in the capital. Kejriwal has not taken any decision against the Centre\u2019s orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arora said: \u201cWe are fighting a pandemic, the biggest battle-ever. These people are not bothered about Covid, they are looking at their vote-banks. They only want to enjoy power. BJP and AAP have turned Delhi into a football match, and the common man is getting ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Poddar said: \u201cPeople get to see everything, and this petty politics has upset the people. All people want is safety and that their livelihoods and health should remain protected. Covid is spreading more in urban areas and not so much in rural areas. Delhi has around 2 crore people and therefore the number of Covid positive patients are rising. I don\u2019t see anything wrong in Kejriwal\u2019s decision to protect facilities for the people of Delhi. Politics is happening over Covid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kaul said: \u201cDiscrimination of any kind is not good at all. Will a patient get his Aadhaar card, or should he look for relief when he comes to hospital?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dubey said: \u201cHealthcare is free for the people of Delhi. In case there\u2019s a serious case, the CM had already said he\/she will not be denied government healthcare. Private hospitals are getting into black marketing of hospital beds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kaul said: \u201cThen Kejriwal should have made it all clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dubey said: \u201cSee if Delhi people do not get healthcare in Delhi, will they run to Ghaziabad? And will the UP government take such patients?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sahu said: \u201cPeople will drive out AAP from Delhi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arora said: \u201cI agree with Kaul that the issue is why should people get discriminated for treatment. What if the child is a Delhi resident and parents are from Bihar? How will such a child get treatment for his patents in Delhi? Too much politics is happening over corona in Delhi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dubey said: \u201cSee if patients want to take treatment in Delhi, there is nothing wrong in that. We have not challenged the Lt Governor\u2019s decision. Problems arise when beds are scarce. Delhi will have its own budget, just like Haryana and UP also have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Poddar said: \u201cDelhi has Delhi government hospitals, private hospitals and central government hospitals. Right now, inter-state traffic is limited. There are central government hospitals also where people can reach for healthcare. I am of the opinion there is nothing wrong in Delhi saving its facilities for its own people. Ambulances know where to take people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi chief minister\u2019s decision was irresponsible, so it was overturned by the Lt Governor.
