Goel attacks Sisodia on offer to help Bihar, advises not to indulge in theatrics
New Delhi, June 19, 2019: Attacking Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia over his offer to help Bihar today, BJP leader and former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel said that Sisodia should stop indulging in theatrics and refrain from politicizing the deaths of kids in Bihar.
Goel said it would have served Sisodia better had he first looked at the conditions of the government hospitals in Delhi. The conditions have come to such a pass that patients are lying on floors in corridors because there is an acute shortage of beds. By the Delhi government’s own admission, Mohalla Clinics are highly inadequate in numbers to even cater to the needs of Delhiites. The few they have setup suffer from the unavailability of essential medicines and other facilities. The electoral promises of CM Arvind Kejriwal of hiring thousands of doctors, paramedical staff, and opening new hospitals remain unfulfilled even after four and a half years.
Goel said that lakhs of poor people across India have been benefitted by Ayushman Bharat, but the Kejriwal government deliberately stalled its implementation in Delhi fearing the scheme would benefit the BJP and further increase the popularity of Modi. The people of Delhi are being made to suffer because of the narrow political interests of Kejriwal.
