Kota Infant Deaths: Blame games serves no purpose, says Sachin Pilot

The deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot said that getting into the 'number game politics' will not be accepted by those who lost their children in JK Lon Hospital in Kota district.

Chief Minster Ashok Gehlot had earlier said that the mortality rate of infants in 2019 has been the lowest in the last six years.

Pilot said that he has not come to politicise the issue and there is "no one with him to raise slogans here".

"I am talking of fixing accountability and responsibility. I met the bereaved families here who shared their pain and grief on losing their children as young as 2-4 months old. They told me 'we have lost our kid, but we don't want a repeat of this in future'," the deputy chief minster said.
