AAP stages protest against Delhi govt over closure of mohalla clinics

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday staged a protest against the BJP government’s alleged move to shut down Delhi’s mohalla clinics and privatise public healthcare. Led by AAP MLA Kuldeep Kumar, party workers demonstrated outside a mohalla clinic in Vinod Nagar in East Delhi, accusing the BJP of destroying the Capital’s health model.

AAP Delhi chief Saurabh Bharadwaj called the government a “disaster for Delhiites.” Hitting out at BJP, Kumar dubbed the party as anti-poor and accused that the government was bent on handing public hospitals to private players.

Further, he alleged that over 200 mohalla clinics treating thousands of patients daily have been closed in Delhi.
