Haryana Home and Health Minister Anil Vij today hit out at the Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, saying his vision was “myopic” because of his precarious position in the Congress today.

Vij said the Health Department’s budget, which used to be Rs 1,600 crore under Hooda’s regime, had now increased to Rs 5,500 crore. He said the doctors and paramedical staff of the Health Department had worked during the Covid period, putting their lives at risk. He said we have administered the Covid vaccine to 2.54 crore beneficiaries and Hooda seemed to be unaware of this and appeared to be living in a strange world.

Vij said Hooda had the old habit of presenting incorrect data. In fact, the law and order situation had improved to a great extent since the state government had started Dial 112. About 600 vehicles had been deployed in the field for the safety of the people, he added. — TNS
