The SIR controversy in West Bengal continues to fuel national discourse, with Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey on January 23 accusing Mamata Banerjee of systemic sabotage to mask her ‘wrongful’ election strategies.
Addressing journalists in Patna, Pandey asserted, ‘Banerjee aims to dismantle the entire apparatus, using coercion to derail SIR. TMC pressures BLOs intensely, causing psychological distress among officials.’
He leveled serious allegations of infiltration. ‘She imports Bangladeshis, bestows resident status to secure crooked victories. BJP’s rise in West Bengal will end this charade,’ he forecasted.
Pandey drew stark leadership parallels: ‘Kharge hails from a party of born-privileged puppets. PM Modi, emerging from poverty’s embrace, authentically represents and alleviates the masses’ sufferings.’
On health governance, he unpacked Bihar’s filariasis crusade. ‘Encompassing elephantiasis, hydrocele, and varied ailments, our data-driven efforts target eradication by 2027 via sensitization and treatment drives.’
Emphasizing trust, Pandey said Bihar’s populace reposes full confidence in Nitish Kumar and Union initiatives. ‘Directives ensure smooth operations without public hassle,’ he wrapped up, signaling robust policy execution.
