Chandigarh, December 17

Health Minister Anil Vij said that before visiting the state, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal must clarify his stand on the SYL canal that whether he is in favour of giving the SYL canal waters to Haryana or not.

In his tweet on Monday, Vij said that Kejriwal was playing with the sentiments of people of Haryana. “On reaching Punjab, he asks the people not to give the SYL waters to Haryana, whereas he tries to mislead the people of Haryana on other issues. The people of the state must ask Kejriwal what is his stand on SYL,” he said.

He said that Kejriwal and the Delhi Government could not compete even in dreams with the achievements made and works done in the health sector in Haryana. During the present state government, under National Rural Health Mission, the remaining construction work of buildings of 21 Community Health Centres (CHCs), 77 Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and 216 Sub Health Centres (SHCs) had been completed. Besides, new buildings of 13 hospitals, 14 CHC, 26 PHC and 37 SHCs had been constructed and about 30 buildings had been repaired. Apart from this, six hospitals, 14 CHC and 5 PHC had been upgraded, he added.

“Therefore, Kejriwal must tell how many new hospitals have been constructed in Delhi by the Delhi Government in his over 3 year’s regime. Kejriwal just wants to do politics of lie and deceit,” he added.
