We Have Never Denied Education, Medical Treatment To Anyone: Arvind Kejriwal
Mumbai: A day after drawing huge flak for “outsider” remarks, on Tuesday Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal issued a clarification over his statement.
On Monday the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal, sparked a row after he said that a large number of patients from other states come to Delhi to avail free medical treatment.
Kejriwal said, “We have never denied medical treatment or education to anyone. We are happy if we can help needy people, give them treatment and educate children, beat any citizen of the country. We want educational and medical faculty is like Delhi to be provided in the rest of the country as well.”
On Monday while addressing an event he said that the people in Delhi head to stand in long queues inside hospitals to buy medicines and avail other healthcare facilities because of “ people coming from outside to avail medical facilities here.”
The Delhi CM had said, “The situation is such that a person from Bihar buys tickets to Delhi for rupees 500 and return after availing free treatment worth rupees 5 lakhs. It makes us happy as they are people of their own country, but Delhi has its own capacity”.
He added, “How can Delhi serve people of the entire country? Hence there is a need to improve the health care services here”.
Manoj Tiwari BJP Chief from Delhi said, “Arvind Kejriwal hate for people belonging to Bihar, purvanchal, Uttar Pradesh and other states is now clearly coming out. He may have a political entity with me but the hatred against people of Bihar and purvanchal is not right. This clearly shows his frustration. He knows very well that he lost the ground and the citizens of Delhi will give him a befitting reply very soon.”
