Mumbai: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Chief  Raj Thackeray today said that he met Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and has made certain suggestions with regards to the evolving crisis due to the second wave of Covid-19 in the state. He demanded  people from all age groups should be vaccinated with the Covid preventive vaccine.

Addressing a press conference at his residence Krushna Kunj in Mumbai, the MNS chief said that promoting the students of Class 10 and 12 are among the many suggestions which he made to the CM.

“Students from class 1 to 8 have been promoted, similarly students from class 10 and 12 should also be promoted as we do not know in which mindset they would appear for exams. We should consider their psyche”, he said.

Similarly he said that the state government should act in the strictest manner against hospitals which are not providing beds to the patients infected due to Covid-19. “Beds are available in the hospitals but they are refusing to provide it to the patients in need”, he alleged.

Raj said, there are many private hospitals which have been constructed on the land owned by the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). “These hospitals are using the electricity and water supply of BMC and are not doing their duty to provide beds to the Covid patients”, he said.

Accusing the state government of not being fully prepared to handle the crisis, Raj alleged that when the migrants left the state when the lockdown was announced they were allowed to return without health checkups.

“I had demanded that the migrants who have left the state to their native places should be allowed entry only after their health check up is done. Unfortunately that was not done by the government”, he remarked.

The MNS chief further said when the administration sensed about the emergence of a second wave in the state that time they should have taken necessary measures.

He also said that the small traders who have been asked to continue with their production should be allowed to sell their produce at least twice or thrice a week.

Reiterating that probe should be launched into who asked the police personnel to park the explosive laden vehicle near the residence of Industrialist Mukesh Ambani, he said resignation of Anil Deshmukh as home minister was not an important issue for him.

“The explosive laden vehicle was parked on the instructions of someone in power. Probe should be launched into it as police cannot park the vehicle containing explosives without the instructions of someone”, he said.

He said an investigation should also be done into the letter written by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh wherein he made serious allegations against Anil Deshmukh.

“Only when he (Param Bir Singh) was shunted as Mumbai police commissioner he made those allegations. If he wouldn’t have been ousted he would have not made those allegations?” he asked.

“All those allegations asking police to collect money was shameful in nature”, he asserted.
