I know a couple idealistic AAP young leaders & some of us raised these issues consistently with them .

But the way they deserted the students of JNU & Jamia and a mute spectator of Delhi pogrom, the anathema shown to Shaheenbagh protests are enough for not trusting AK Govt!

The way AK tried to communalise the Markaz incident was the last nail in the coffin.

Now we know that this virus can remain asymptomatic for even a month! No one who sick with this virus, which can be life threatening for immunodeficient people are not going to hide it and roam

When the Markaz cases getting reduced, he blame it on lots of foreign travellers. Please understand that #COVID19 is imported through international travellers and foreigners to all the States.

No one comes to India with a goal to spread a virus, they are unknown carriers!

When an IIT educated, a fellow who has a long record working with NGOs, got selected into All India Services, talking this way like many Sanghi politicians who want to divide the people in the time of a pandemic was the end of the road of trusting AK as a leader!

Comes back to testing again.

I not only called out Delhi but the others too, who were not publishing their Corona data in public domain at that time.

date March 25

As Delhi did not listen, I tweeted Delhi to publish data on March 26 & 27 too! Send these tweets to some AAP leaders who are working with AK and ministers too.

On March 27, I warned Delhi about the impending danger of not testing enough, because Delhi tops with more number of international airtravellers

Another two tweets on March 27 demanding release of testing data

Finally Delhi Government updated the health bulletin on March 29 on their website. I appreciated their efforts here!

I warned them again about testing more people citing the possibility of import through the air travellers, see the date again

So Delhi again stopped releasing data and I called them out again here on March 31.

This time, a young AAP leader reached out to me on April 1st and explained that they have some problems to maintain the site and also informed me about they are starting a new dashboard, etc.

My tweets on April 1st again ..........where is Delhi testing data?

Delhi finally released the data on Apr 2 but I questioned the way, the flagged the Markaz case giving chances to the RW predators to communalise this pandemic

When Delhi started doing good works, I appreciated them too..This point their data was regular.

Date April 7

But Delhi again dragged their feet, no data on Apr 8 and 9!

This time another AAP leader reached out to me and assured me that from tomorrow onwards CMO Delhi handle will tweet Delhi testing data

Date: April 9

On that night on April 9 @CMODelhi tweeted detailed test data till April 29....I appreciated their efforts, they also enabled the delhi dashboard delhifightscorona.in

Between April 28 and April 29, a change in the testing info-graphics happened.

One important information, number of testing results pending is dropped from the infographics on April 29!

As on April 28, the number of pending tests results was 3295.

on 29th no info abt it

Remember Delhi is having a total of 26 labs, 13 Government and 13 private labs.

It is really perplexing why this much test results are pending then?

See number of tests done and pending test results form 10/4 to 28/04...not it was not given for 29/04

After repeated tweets, neither CMODelhi twitter handle nor delhi dashboard (delhifightscorona.in) nor Delhi Health Department website cared to update the testing data.

See my tweets on May 3rd and May 4th

So I started asking many of my journalists friends whether Delhi Government updating them on testing data or not.

Couple of them informed that they are getting that testing data from May 2 onwards through whatsapp message. Many of them told they are not receiving it

What happened on May 4?

Delhi High Court taken note of this opacity in a petition filed by Mr. Rakesh Malhotra and directed Delhi Government to CONTINUE UPDATE THEIR WEBSITE REGULARLY CLEARLY STATING +VE, -VE AND PENDING TEST RESULTS!

Even when I checked Delhi Corona Dashboard on 5th and 6th May, the main page was not updated with testing results while they update with infection data. CMO handle only tweet infection data and no testing infographics

So when I tweeted this, one friend accused me that I am not checking the website properly and hiding this information and he told that I am deliberately not looking at "Health Bulletin tab" due to my AGENDA.

I looked again and found that there is a tab, I apologised to him

I was really felt so bad, it was perplexing me how did I miss this important tab, because I have an eye for details, one of my core strength. I returned to my tweets and I found that this tab was not there at least till May 3rd!

See my tweet and the tab in the screenshot

It was so damn clear that this particular tab was added there after the direction of the High Court, but neither the main page nor the CMO handle disclosed the figures. Even today main page display test data of April 29

Go the page and see urself

delhifightscorona.in

Though the health bulletins from April 1st in now available under Health Bulletin tab, the bulletins fail to comply with HC directive to disclose number of negative cases and number of test results pending instead it give a one line info of number of tests done alone.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Health Department website, which provided all bulletins issued on the month of March PURGED that while they added all bulletins of April. NOT YET MAY BULLETINS

Here ends my rants!

I put all somersaults and opacity of the Delhi Government, I am no more going to discuss about what they are doing there!

It is up to the people of Delhi to understand and question them for this!
