Corona patients not getting proper treatment :

If people were made aware, then why did they migrate:

He also said that Delhi government claims that through the medium of advertisements they made people aware as how to live with corona. But if people were made aware of the consequences and the precautions, then why are the cases increasing in Delhi. How those advertisements helped migrant labourers and helpless people?

Kejriwal violating constitutional rights of people:

Manoj Tiwari also questioned the decision of the state government to seal the borders. He said that why did they took such a decision at a time when the central government decided to open the lockdown and the constitution gives right to people to move and settle in any part of the country.
