 "Coronavirus will not be controlled by jugaad: Mayawati to UP govt")
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Monday slammed the Uttar Pradesh government over its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, saying the virus has assumed a "horrible shape" in the state and it was a matter of serious concern.
The pandemic, she said, will be controlled by making proper arrangements and not by 'jugaad'.
"The way in which COVID-19 pandemic is assuming a horrible shape in UP -- the most populous state in the country, which is poor and backward -- is a matter of serious concern," she said in a tweet in Hindi.
The COVID-19 tally in Uttar Pradesh rose to 49,247 on Sunday, with the highest single-day jump of 2,211 fresh cases, while the death toll reached 1,146 after 38 fatalities were reported in the state, according to a statement.
