Congress leader and former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday attacked the ruling government for the deteriorating health and security conditions in Rajasthan, with the confirmation of 22 Zika virus patients in the state.

"Rajasthan in the last few years has been hitting headlines for all the wrong reasons," he told the media here. "The number of swine flu patients has been soaring year after year, and now Zika virus too has entered the Rajasthan borders. All this shows the callousness of the government towards sensitive issues plaguing the state," the All India Congress Committee General Secretary said.
