Patna: Tejashwi Yadav’s surprise visit in govt hospitals leave doctors in a daze

Doctors and staff at government hospitals in Bihar’s Patna were caught off guard when state Deputy Chief minister Tejashwi Yadav conducted a surprise check.

The young politician who is also the state health minister turned up wearing casual clothes past midnight to take a stock of conditions at the hospitals.

The hospitals where the deputy CM conducted surprise checks included PMCH, the state's largest government health facility, besides the hospitals at Gardiner Road and Gardani Bagh.

During his visits, Yadav was visibly displeased at the lack of cleanliness on the premises, poor availability of medicines and the apparent indifference towards their duty by those on the night roster.

He even pulled up Patna Medical College’s superintendent who was all set to go to bed in his office during duty hours moments before Tejashwi Yadav arrived.

Notably, the health department had remained with the BJP for the entire period and Nitish Kumar remained an NDA ally.
