The East Delhi MP is handing out the Covid drug at his discretion rather than giving it to hospitals.
As relatives of Covid patients are forced to run around Delhi for Fabiflu because hospitals and pharmacies have run out of the drug, which is used to treat some Covid patients, East Delhi MP Gautam Gambhir of the BJP is sitting on a stock and handing it out at his discretion.
Why isn't he giving it to hospitals instead, saving patients critical time and their relatives the agony of having to wait outside his door for hours? Who is he giving it to and how?
