Leader of Opposition Reveals to Delayed in Treatment

“The two siblings were suffering from fever, but they did not get the treatment on time. Within a couple of hours, their condition deteriorated and barely in the next one hour, the two boys succumbed. There was no ambulance to even transfer the two minors’ bodies to their village, Pattigaon and the parents were compelled to walk 15 km through the rain-soaked muddy path. A grim reality of the healthcare system of Gadchiroli has again come to the fore today.” said Mr Wadettiwar

The Congress leader pointed out how the MahaYuti allies, Bharatiya Janata Party’s Fadnavis is the Guardian Minister of Gadchiroli while Nationalist Congress Party’s Dharmarao Baba Atram is an FDA Minister in Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s government.,
