Former Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope on Tuesday alleged the Eknath Shinde-BJP government is not serious in tackling the measles outbreak.
Tope claimed 14 children have died due to measles in the state so far but the government is not doing enough.
Healthcare is the prime responsibility of the government which should wake up from its slumber," he told reporters in Jalna.
