Kerala will not be able to send oxygen out any longer: Vijayan

Thiruvananthapuram, May 10 (IANS): Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday told Prime Minister Narendra Modi that with the Covid case load surging, his state will no longer be able to supply oxygen to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, as was being done till now.

In a letter to Modi, Vijayan said the state produces 219 metric tonnes of oxygen and given its huge daily requirement, it is in no position to give this outside the state any more, and hence, it should be allowed to use it for its own needs.

The reserve stock of 450 tonnes of oxygen has now come down to 86 tonnes and with cases continuing to rise, Kerala should be given exemption with regards to oxygen supplies, he demanded.

Kerala presently has 4.23 lakh active Covid cases, and the daily test positivity rate is also at its peak of 28 per cent and given the spike, the total number of active cases is likely to cross five lakh very soon.

    P Vijayan knows to put his people first. But look at our Modi who imported vaccines to other countries risking millions of his citizens.

    Warning Bell ! Yeddiyurappa needs to do some 'Jugaad'. Though Supreme court has ordered the Centre, doesn't look like 1200 MT of oxygen is being provided. Kerala pulling out citing shortage for themselves means more trouble for Karnataka.

    Now is the time to put to use BJP leaders claim they can produce oxygen from gutters. Unfortunately those motor mouth BJP leaders are not to be seen after the challenging times of covid. Because of govt of such ministers India’s image and reputation has been badly affected and incompetent with rest of the world. PM’s daily new avatar’s can never change India’s ranking in the world rather gives more of communal religious fanatic colour.
