WATCH: Shiv Sena corporator Sandhya Doshi creates a ruckus, abuses doctors at COVID-19 hospital

Mumbai, April 23: Amid the severe corona crisis taking place in Maharashtra, a video of Shiv Sena corporator and civic education committee chairman Sandhya Doshi arguing and abusing doctors at Bhagwati Hospital over a patient not being admitted went viral.

 

 

 

She is heard saying that the language used with her relative was inappropriate. She also boasted saying that she can bring ten doctors to the hospital and threatens to call the ward officer if the patient is not admitted. A person who is accompanying her in the video is seen without a face mask too, pointed out BJP workers who tweeted the video.

 

 

 

Responding to such behaviour, doctors said that it is absurd to expect a VIP treatment when the hospitals are struggling due to a lack of doctors and medical supplies. The staff also informed that there are some doctors who are performing a 24-hour duty to cater to the Covid-19 patients. The doctors have protested severely against behaviour of Doshi & said they will resign after being humiliated by the corporator for such matter.

 

 

Sandhya Doshi served as an NCP corporator for two terms before switching parties just ahead of the BMC elections. In 2016, Doshi joined the Shiv Sena in the presence of party chief Uddhav Thackeray. She is currently serving as the BMC Education Committee Chairman and ward-18 corporator in Mumbai suburbs.

 

 

Later, Doshi has since then apologised for her behaviour. She has claimed her intention was to get the patient admitte and not to abuse the doctors. However, BJP’s Pratik Kapre has written to the Maharashtra Chief Minister demanding action against Doshi.
