“With Central Assistance, 600 new MBBS seats are being added in the field of Medical Education in West Bengal. 100 MBBS students are being admitted in each of these six new Medical Colleges as the first batches in the 2022-23 session.”
Suvendu Adhikari, the leader of the opposition, claimed in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee intended to open six medical schools and hospitals in the state that were supported by the federal government earlier than expected. The letter stated that the openings were “to be done by the PM.”
“Hon’ble CM @Mamata Official is about to unilaterally & unethically inaugurate 6 new Central Govt Sponsored Medical Colleges & Hospitals before the actual inauguration by the Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji. I have written a letter to Hon’ble PM regarding this matter. @PMOIndia,” Adhikari posted on Twitter.
“I have also written to the Hon’ble Union Health Minister; Dr. @mansukhmandviya Ji. The approx amount spent for developing these Medical Colleges & Hospitals is 1556.57 crores & have been largely funded by the CSS or Centrally Sponsored Schemes mostly through the @MoHFW_INDIA.”
