The Prime opposition Party Congress and its ally DMK on Monday upped the ante against the Narendra Modi government, alleging profiteering on purchase of PPE (personal protective equipment) used by medics and other material needed for tackling the Covid-19 pandemic.
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi raised the issue of “faulty” PPEs being supplied to medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh and prodded the Yogi Adityanath government to punish the people behind the “scam”.
She added that the current UP government’s natural response is to go after the people who leaked the story to the opposition rather than round up the scamsters.
Priyanka highlighted a letter by the state’s director-general for medical education stating that faulty PPEs were supplied. The letter was leaked.
She also shared a letter by the UP government later seeking to inquire who was behind the leak.

“Surprisingly, the UP government is not bothered about the scam but is concerned about who leaked the information about these faulty kits,” she said in a tweet in Hindi.
