"Even before the probe report is out, the Chief Minister's statement that the deaths have been caused due to encephalitis indicate that he wants to influence the ongoing probe," the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee chief said.
Led by Babbar, the Congress workers demanded Adityanath's resignation during a dharna against large number of infant deaths in the Gorakhpur hospital.
The Congress leader said that the UP CM expressing concern over the issue after 36 hours of the deaths of the children only proves his "insensitivity over the matter".
The UPCC president said that soon after the deaths, the Chief Minister said that oxygen shortage was not the cause of the deaths...If that was so, then why raids are being carried out on the premises of the supplier".
