The BJP on Thursday termed the Chief Minister’s announcement of Rs 8,500 crore spending on health infrastructure development as eyewash. It pointed out that there is no breakup for the expenditure.
BJP State general secretary Lekhasri Samantsinghar told reporters that that announcement of such a huge amount for health infrastructure development is a ‘diversionary tactic’ to cover up the shortage of doctors, failure in managing Covi-19 and to hide the real Covid positive and death cases.She asked the Government to come clean for which this amount would be spent to construct hospitals, establish oxygen plants, purchase new ventilators or to recruit doctors, nurses and technical staffs.
While people are facing difficulties in hospitals due to shortage of beds, oxygen, ventilators, medicines, doctors and nurses across State, the Government taking credit of work undertaken by private agencies and sectors, she alleged.
