A day after Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal attacked the BJP led Haryana Government for not improving health and education services in the state, Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij on Monday hit back saying that Delhi Government cannot compete even in dreams, with the achievements made and works done in the health sector in Haryana

“During the regime of present State Government, under National Rural Health Mission, the remaining construction work of buildings of 21 Community Health Centres (CHCs), 77 Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and 216 Sub Health Centres (SHCs) has been completed in Haryana,” claimed Anil Vij.

Besides, new buildings of 13 hospitals, 14 CHC, 26 PHC and 37 SHCs have been constructed and about 30 buildings have been repaired. Apart from this, six hospitals, 14 CHC and 5 PHC have been upgraded, he added.

Vij was responding to the statements made by Arvind Kejriwal in Kaithal and Sonipat during his rallies in the past two days. 

The Health Minister said that Kejriwal must tell how many new hospitals have been constructed in Delhi by AAP government in his over three year’s regime. Kejriwal just wants to do politics of lie and deceit, he alleged. Eyeing 2019 polls,  the AAP is hard selling its Delhi Government’s achievements in the field of education and health sectors to the voters of Haryana. AAP has announced to contest Lok Sabha and assembly polls in Haryana next year.

Attacking Kejriwal on the issue of Sutlej Yamuna Link canal, Vij said that before visiting the state, Kejriwal must clarify his stand on SYL canal that whether he is in favour of giving SYL canal water to Haryana or not?

“Kejriwal is playing with the sentiments of people of Haryana. By reaching Punjab, he advocates the people not to give SYL water to Haryana, whereas he tries misleading the people of Haryana on other issues. The people of the state must ask Kejriwal, what is his stand on SYL?,” Vij added.
