Controversy erupts over names of new medical colleges in UP

Lucknow: Controversy has erupted in Uttar Pradesh over the provisions for medical colleges in all districts of the state as the Samajwadi Party (SP) has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of rebranding its work and playing vote bank politics over the new medical colleges and their names.
The political row comes ahead of inauguration of as many as nine medical colleges by Prime Minister Narendra Modi next month.
SP alleged that with the upcoming 2022 UP Assembly election knocking the door, BJP is playing vote bank politics, while alleging that the government was taking credit even when most of these medical colleges were built under the Akhilesh Yadav government.
"Medical colleges were established in Orai, Kannauj, Azamgarh, Saharanpur, Badaun, Banda, Basti, Bahraich and Faizabad under the Samajwadi Party government. Till now, this government has not done any work in health. Their claims are hollow. The society has also understood their truth," Samajwadi Party spokesperson Sunil Singh Sajan stated.
