Gorakhpur: The Congress party on Saturday took a dig at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath over the Gorakhpur hospital tragedy, saying that despite being five-time MP from Gorakhpur he did nothing for the hospital.
Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who visited Gorakhpur along with party vice-president Rahul Gandhi told the media, "In spite of being five-time MP from Gorakhpur, he (Adityanath) did nothing for the hospital."

Around 71 children lost their lives in the BRD hospital since August 7 due to various causes including encephalitis.
Ahead of Rahul's Gorakhpur visit, Adityanath launched a scathing attack at the former, saying that the tragedy-struck place should not be allowed to be made a 'picnic spot'.
"The 'shehzaada' sitting in Lucknow and the 'yuvraj' sitting in Delhi don't know the importance of cleanliness. We must not allow them to make Gorakhpur a picnic spot," Chief Minister Yogi said, while addressing a public rally in Gorakhpur's Andhiyari Bagh locality. (ANI)
