New Delhi, September 27

Home Minister Amit Shah today alleged that instead of improving the health infrastructure, Congress leaders “made money” in the name of improving medical education facilities when it was in power at the Centre.

The healthcare scenario improved after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took over in 2014, he claimed addressing a gathering in Gandhinagar district of poll-bound Gujarat.

“What is the meaning of such infrastructure if there are no doctors in hospitals? During the Congress rule, leaders were busy making money in the name of improving medical education facilities,” he said.

Shah said 387 medical colleges (private and government) were functioning in the country in 2013-14. Their number went up to 600 due to the efforts of PM Modi.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
