Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday denounced Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari for opposing the cancellation of licence of Max Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, for erroneously declaring a newborn dead, alleging he had "sold his integrity".
Reacting to the CM's remark, Tiwari said he opposed the cancellation of the hospital's licence becasuse Kejriwal did not consider the plight of its workers and patients admitted there.
The Delhi government had on Friday cancelled the hospital's licence for alleged medical negligence in multiple instances.
Addressing a gathering in the Mundka area, Kejriwal said he was "sad" that Tiwari and the BJP had come out in support of the hospital.
Kejriwal added doctors work hard but private hospitals exploit them.
Tiwari accused the AAP government of adopting double standards, as Kejriwal "was not suspended" when former minister Jitender Singh Tomar's degree was found fake.
