BJP criticises TVK-led government for lack of facilities in government hospitals
The BJP state president has criticized the TVK-led government in Tamil Nadu for alleged medical negligence and poor infrastructure in state-run hospitals. The criticism follows reports of several deaths and medical complications across various districts.
Why it matters
Public health infrastructure is a major political issue, and allegations of negligence can significantly impact government approval ratings.
BJP State president Nainar Nagenthran on Friday criticised the Health Department under the TVK-led government over deaths reported in various parts of the State involving State-run medical facilities. He referred to reports that a man died due to a lack of proper medical treatment in Madurai, the death of a 10-month-old child in Gobichettipalayam and a 14-year-old boy going into a coma in Theni district.
Health Minister K.G. Arunraj was focusing on posting reels on social media instead of improving infrastructure in State-run hospitals, he said, and further urged Ministers to look into the basic necessities of the people and ensure sufficient doctors and medicines in government hospitals to protect the lives of the poor and the downtrodden.
