Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA Ramgopal Lodhi has claimed that his Covid positive wife was not admitted to an Agra hospital for over three hours, with officials citing non-availability of a bed. Upset over this, Firozabad’s Jasrana MLA made a video over the issue and posted it on social media. His wife was given a bed at the hospital following the district magistrate’s intervention, he claimed.
Lodhi, however, alleged that his wife was not given medicine and water on time. The MLA’s video had surfaced on social media on May 8 when his wife was referred Agra’s SN Medical College.
“What would happen to a common man when an MLA’s wife cannot be given proper care," Lodhi said in the video, alleging that his wife had to lie on the floor and was not admitted to the hospital for over three hours.
