Patna (Bihar): Stating that Bihar is taking every measure to deal with COVID-19 and the floods situation, JD(U) spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan on Wednesday said that the opposition is only questioning the state government to hide its failure.
"Neither Corona nor the floods are a matter of concern for the opposition. They just try to hide their failure by attacking Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. They should take a look at how we brought the decaying health infrastructure in the state back on track and made it capable of dealing with the pandemic, along with the disaster management decisions we took to deal with the floods," said Ranjan while talking to reporters.
Ranjan accepted that the situation of the flood is worrisome in Bihar, but added that the state government is ready to deal with it.
Giving a sharp reply to former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who raised questions on COVID-19 related deaths in Bihar, Ranjan said that Gandhi should look at the situation in Congress-ruled states before commenting on Bihar.

"Maharashtra, where Congress is supporting the current regime, alone has one-fourth of entire India's COVID-19 count. Most states under Congress have failed to deal with the situation, despite that he is commenting on the situation in Bihar. I think, being a senior leader of the nation's oldest party, it is his responsibility to talk about what are the models that the Congress governed states are following to deal with Corona," he said.
