The sources said that he "chose to spread lies on vaccine prices despite knowing that Centre does not keep one vaccine dose with itself and shares with states only."
Likewise, the sources said that Delhi CM raised a point of airlifting oxygen, amid shortage, but did not know that it is already being done. They added, that Kejriwal spoke about Oxygen express by Railways but Railway sources say that he has not communicated anything about it to Railways.
Furthermore, the sources added that "Kejriwal has descended to a new low. For the first time, private conversations of PMs meeting with CM was televised. His entire speech was not meant for any solution but for playing politics and evade responsibility."
To this, Delhi CMO stated that "Today, the CM address was shared live because there has never been any instruction, written or verbal, from central govt that the said interaction could not be shared live."
"There have been multiple occasions of similar interactions where matters of public importance which had no confidential information were shared live. However, if any inconvenience was caused we highly regret that," it added.
