AGARTALA, Sep 10 (TIWN): In a thorny quote, State Congress leader Panna Deb while agitating at the GB hospital told the BJP Govt that Govt hospitals are not anybody’s father’s property that business can be started there.

Panna Deb slammed the BJP Govt’s so called “Business” mindset. She said, “Charging poor people in medical service proves how mean the BJP Govt is and what type of mentality they keep against the people. If the leaders want to do business there are so many unused lands. Why don’t they open private hospitals there for their Business ? Who gave them right to snatch poor people’s rights ?”

“Now each patient has to book a ticket at the price of Rs. 20 first, then Rs. 30 Doctors’ fees, Oxygen Rs. 50 /hour, How mean the Govt is are taking Rs. 50 even from food items ? Shame on this Govt”, said Panna Deb.

“All tests are now charging at extreme ! But earlier all were free. How low-grade mentality the Govt has today it is proven. Govt has to change the decision right now or the protests will be escalated”, said Deb.
