Gandhinagar, May 27:
Gujarat BJP President C.R. Patil on Thursday said people need to be cautious about the free facilities provided by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), as they can “eclipse” the development of the state. Patil was addressing a gathering after dedicating the South Gujarat Institute of Medical Education and Research in Surat. Without naming the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, he said, “Some political leaders are visiting the state to criticize the state’s infrastructure. They are like an eclipse for the development of Gujarat.” And we should keep distance from them and beware of their propaganda.”

‘Free facilities can ruin the state…’

He further said that the state does not need ‘mohalla clinics’ as the health sector infrastructure is strong to meet the needs of the people. He said, “BJP has put the state on the path of development for the last 27 years and it is making good progress. People do not need a party like AAP in the state.”

The BJP president also cautioned against getting influenced by promises of providing free services to the people. “Free facilities are not good for the economy and can ruin the state,” he said.

AAP leader retaliated

Responding to this, AAP leader Sagar Rabari said, “Had Patil looked at the state government’s own records at least once, he would never have claimed that the state’s health sector is well equipped. He said, “According to the government’s own figures, many community and primary health centers are running without doctors or specialized doctors, many hospitals do not have enough stock of medicines.”

The AAP leader said, “There is a huge shortage of doctors in the state and it does not meet the WHO standards of doctors per 1000 population. Then how can Patil claim a developed state for Gujarat.” He further said, “Not AAP but BJP is a big eclipse for the state. To free the people of the state from this eclipse, AAP has entered the politics of the state and it will free people from the eclipse of the name BJP.”
