The Congress MP P Chidambaram on Tuesday took a jibe at the Central government for not having official data on COVID deaths due to oxygen shortage. He also charged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi lobs barb of 'tukde tukde gang' at Congress, but the government has no data to substantiate the allegations against the Opposition party.

Chidambaram said that "the government had in the past admitted not having data when a question was asked about the members of tukde tukde gang; the Minister had at that time said that there was no data available." The senior Congress leader further said that the government has "no data available on 'tukde tukde gang', on oxygen shortage deaths, on bodies flowing in rivers, on migrants walking back to homes". "It's 'No Data Available NDA government'," said Chidambaram in Rajya Sabha.
