He assured all help to states in fighting the spread of vector-borne diseases and said it should not be an issue for indulging in blame game. "We will try to fulfill all requirements. Whether it is dengue or chikungunya, we should not panic. There is a need to give symptomatic treatment. There is a need to take a lot of liquid.

"We are ready to offer all help to state governments. This is not an issue for the Centre and states to indulge in blame game. We should work together,"  Nadda said. 60 people have died across the country due to dengue. Four people have died in Delhi due to Chikungunya.
