Priyanka Gandhi accuses Fadnavis of hoarding remdesivir, says ‘crime against humanity’

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi on Monday accused former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of committing a “crime against humanity” by hoarding remdesivir injections.

Gandhi was referring to Fadnavis’ intervention on Saturday after the Mumbai Police questioned the director of medicine company Bruck Pharma over suspicions that the firm was going to export the antiviral drug despite a ban. The executive was allowed to leave after 45 minutes but Bharatiya Janata Party leaders Fadnavis and Praveen Darekar went to the Vile Parle police station in Mumbai to speak to officials about the matter.

“At a time when people from all across the country are pleading to provide remdesivir injections and are struggling to get even one vial, this BJP leader is committing a crime against humanity by hoarding the drug,” Gandhi said in a tweet. She shared a video of Fadnavis arguing with police officials.
