 "Gorakhpur hospital tragedy is Yogi Adityanath's 'hour of test': Paswan")
Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Saturday sought a time-bound probe into the deaths of 30 children in a government hospital in Gorakhpur and said it was an "hour of test" for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Paswan, a BJP ally, termed the deaths, many of which were reportedly caused by lack of oxygen, as "heart-rending" and noted that the tragedy happened in Adityanath's constituency.
"I am sure he will take it very seriously and it must be taken so. This is an hour of test for the chief minister," he told a press conference.
Paswan said there must be a high-level probe and action should be taken within a week.
He said the condition of government hospitals in UP and several other states is "very bad".
At least 30 children have died, many due to lack of oxygen, in the hospital in the last 48 hours.
