Speaking at the event, Singh remarked, “The Prime Minister had allocated Rs. 2,400 crore to the Kejriwal government to strengthen Delhi’s health infrastructure. But they chose to sit on the funds, afraid the credit would go to PM Modi. Today, we are putting that very money to good use, building real healthcare institutions, not political showpieces.”

A single visit reveals the foresight of our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.”
