BI News, Lucknow: Former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has said that the neglect of health services in the Uttar Pradesh BJP government is shameful. It seems that in the BJP government, from the Chief Minister to the Health Minister, the entire health department has become insensitive. Patients are dying in agony due to dengue fever and other diseases. There is no proper system for their treatment. When a VIP becomes a victim of negligence by doctors, the officers hush up the matter under the pretext of getting him investigated.
When an ambulance was not found in Hamirpur even after calling, the family members were forced to take the patient on a handcart. When a wheelchair is not available, the father carries his son on his back. The scene of a brother and sister being carried home on a bike with their bodies tied on their backs outside the CHC in Vidhuna, Auraiya, is disturbing.
These days, there are lines of dengue fever patients in hospitals. They are neither getting timely treatment nor medicines. Doctors are asking for test after test. The game of referring patients from here to there has started. The poor patient is dying in agony on a stretcher. The attendants are becoming patients themselves by running around. No sympathy is being seen anywhere towards the patients. The government and administration are involved in corruption.
When the grandson of a former MP of the ruling BJP died in PGI Lucknow in agony, the government and administration took cognizance of the matter because it was a BIP matter. The father kept pleading but his son did not get proper treatment. In this case, there is only drama of investigation going on. The culprits are rarely prosecuted.

What an irony it is that the BJP government, which makes tall claims, and the big-talking Health Minister are completely unsuccessful in streamlining their department. His priority is the assembly elections being held in other states and not the patients dying of dengue in Uttar Pradesh. Due to the poor condition of health services under the BJP government, patients are dying every day while the cabinet of the BJP government is busy in election campaigning outside UP.
