The Maharashtra Congress has strongly criticized the performance of the Eknath Shinde government, alleging failures in various sectors, including healthcare services. In response, a Congress delegation, led by the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Vijay Wadettiwar, met with Governor Ramesh Bais to request a special session of the state legislature to address these concerns.
In a memorandum submitted to Governor Bais, the Congress delegation expressed their demand for the removal of the state health and medical education ministers, Tanaji Sawant and Hasan Mushrif, following patient deaths in government hospitals in Nanded and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad). The memorandum highlighted that within a 48-hour period, 31 patients, including 16 infants, had lost their lives in Nanded, and 18 patients had died at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Nagpur in just 24 hours. Additionally, the Congress urged for compensation of Rs 10 lakh to be provided to the families of the deceased.
