Refuting Union Minister Anurag Thakur's claim that the Rajasthan government was hiding facts about the help received from the Centre, Health Minister Raghu Sharma on Saturday said the state is yet to receive any financial assistance to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.

"It is the time to rise above political differences and protect people's lives and serve the humanity, Sharma said.

He said "most of the amount that the Centre has given to the state is a part of schemes which are already running or a regular grant."
