Punjab Health Min hits back at Manish Sisodia, claims 'Delhi Govt looted public exchequer'

Balbir Singh Sidhu, Punjab health minister on Sunday, June 13 alleged that Delhi Government is looting from public funds in name of oximeters. He ted that Delhi Government purchased oximeters at an excessive price in comparison to Corona Fateh Kits in Punjab. He stated, "Bulk purchase always based on wholesale prices but Delhi Government looted public exchequer."

"A massive scam in Fateh Kit is being alleged. Those alleging this should have some shame and see what y are doing. Our government and officers did good work during COVID-19 and worked transparently. We are w purchasing Fateh Kit at Rs.895. Our Government did thing wrong", claimed Balbir Singh Sidhu.

Balbir Singh also responded to Delhi Deputy Minister Manish Sisodia's allegation that Captain Amarinder Singh has a secret pack with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sidhu said, "What happened to health model and education model in Delhi? If Modi had a say in ranking, he would have placed Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh in top ranks. Our government has worked for health and education sectors from day one. It is yielding good results."

health minister furr emphasized that strength of state-run schools has increased and infrastructure is improving. He stated that pre-primary classes have started in schools, English langu is being taught along with three-four or langus to make it easier for children to get jobs abroad.

statements regarding development in educational sector come after Deputy CM of Delhi commented that schools in Punjab are in miserable condition.

Sisodia said, "To hide Chief Minister Amarinder Singh's failure, PM Modi issued a report saying Punjab schools are outstanding. This shows 'jugalbandi' between two leaders. Captain Sahab has shut 800 government schools in last 2-3 years." He added, " remaining schools have been given to private sector by chief minister. condition of government schools is such that two days ago a liquor factory was busted in one of m. But Prime Minister Modi says Captain Sahab's work in Punjab government schools is best."

Balbir Singh gave a hard-hitting reply to Sisodia's 'jugalbandi' comment and said, "AAP leadership was so obsessed with electoral politics that it saw poll conspiracies even in something as basic as school education. fact was that AAP which had failed to make a dent in Punjab's political arena over past four years, beginning with its poor performance in 2017 elections, could see route in 2022."

Balbir Singh furr slammed AAP and said that it should as well do 'jugalbandi' with Punjab Government to learn how to man things properly. He pointed out that revamp of state-run schools were undertaken as top priority and success was reflected in Performace Grading Index (PGI) 2019-2020 release of Union Education Ministry.
