 Former minister Chandrakar targeted the return of 200 patients of surgery, said- the government has emptied the state's treasury so much that now there is no money even to give it to government hospitals.

 

abernews Raipur. Bharatiya Janata Party's state spokesperson and former minister Ajay Chandrakar has said that on one hand Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is giving gossip to the people of the state by talking about giving grants to private hospitals in rural areas, while on the other hand the state  Basic facilities have been closed in the biggest government hospital in the state.  Mr. Chandrakar said that the government has emptied the state's treasury so much that now the government has no money left even to give it to its government hospitals.  In the last four months, more than 200 surgery patients have been returned due to the state's biggest government Ambedkar Hospital's Advanced Cardiac Institute being closed due to lack of open heart surgery fund, which was started five months ago.

 BJP State Spokesperson and former Minister, Mr. Chandrakar referred to the restrictions and obstructions imposed due to political vendetta on the implementation of health facilities and schemes of the previous State Government of the Central Government and the BJP and said that the people of the State should take this irresponsible attitude of the Congress Government.  Due to which they are wandering from door to door and are being forced to pay bills of lakhs of rupees of private hospitals.  On the one hand, there is no trace of the Universal Health Scheme, while on the other hand, the hospitals which are running are also not being treated properly.  Shri Chandrakar said that when this is the condition of the state's largest government hospital located in the capital, it can be easily imagined what would have happened to the government hospitals in the rest of the state.  After the Congress government came to power in the state, health services have come to a standstill and people have to depend on private hospitals.  Mr. Chandrakar said that even the State Government is not able to provide funds for the purchase of equipments required for the surgery and due to non-payment of dues of about one crore rupees by the vendors, they have stopped providing the equipment.  These circumstances are enough to put a discount on the credibility of the Congress government of the state and the State Health Minister TS Singhdev is trying to cover up the failures of the state government by playing the rattle of improving the systems and procedures.  Shri Chandrakar said that the State Government is showing criminal negligence even on sensitive issues like public health, and Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and Health Minister Singh Deo have not been able to even build a solid health and medical facility.  When will the state government, which is bent on destroying the facilities available to the public by making Chhattisgarh financially poor, feel ashamed that it is crying out for the budget in continuing the services started in the hospitals and wasting the state's treasury.  has been
