BJP again betrays Jammu as AIIMS sanctioned for Valley 3/21/2015 12:02:23 AM Early Times Report Jammu, Mar 20: Always ready to barter wishes and aspirations of people of Jammu to enjoy power at any cost, the BJP has once again betrayed people of Jammu by ignoring this region in sanctioning All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). During this budget, the NDA government headed by Narendra Modi has sanctioned AIIMS for Kashmir Valley and ignored Jammu region. It was long pending demand of the people of Jammu region to get AIIMS because medical facilities are only of names of Jammu while Kashmir has well-established institutes like SKIMS. In Kashmir Valley there are world class health facilities but in Jammu province most of the hospitals are beset with infrastructure deficit. During Governor's Address, the state government has also officially admitted that AIIMS has been sanctioned for Kashmir Valley. "We thank the Central Government for announcing the setting up of an All India Institute of Medical Sciences in the Valley and the establishment of an IIT and an IIM for Jammu", stated in Governor's Address. Since formation of NDA government in the month of May, 2014, all BJP leaders including elected representatives were claiming that AIIMS would be opened in Jammu province to provide better health facilities to the people of this region but when announced was made it was shifted to Kashmir Valley. For the last six month, a senior BJP leader has been claiming in his every public meeting that he has got AIIMS sanctioned for Jammu region but now this leader has maintained a criminal silence. Credible sources said that leadership of Kashmir has effectively taken up the issue of setting up AIIMS in Valley and they got it. As far Jammu leadership is concerned, they are busy in hatching conspiracies to demonize each other. Most of the BJP leaders were busy in formulating strategies for getting power and they are least concerned about basic amenities for the people. Earlier the then NDA government headed by Atal Behari Vajpayee had announced to establish AIIMS at Jammu but the proposed could not be materialized. The then Union Health Minister, Sushma Swaraj had laid foundation stone for AIIMS in Jammu but later it turned as ill-equipped super specialist hospital.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
