Bhubaneswar, June 12 -- Amid the State's downward trend in fresh infections, the Congress party today accused the ruling-BJD in Odisha of hiding data about COVID deaths and demanded to make the 'actual data' public.

Addressing a presser, Congress leader Sudarsan Das claimed that while an RTI reply says 1288 bodies were cremated at the Satya Nagar crematorium here in Bhubaneswar in the month of September, the government report says only 342 bodies were cremated.

"During this Covid pandemic, there has been an increase in the number of fatalities due to Coronavirus but the government is hiding the fact. The State government is denying the deaths due to Covid-19 infection," he alleged.
