“Health services have gone from bad to worse and the BJP government is insensitive towards the problems of people,” Yadav was quoted in a press statement. He said mosquito-borne diseases were on the rise due to rains and water logging and the large number of dengue patients being found in the state capital reflected the ground situation in other districts of Uttar Pradesh.

He said the number of people having typhoid was also increasing.

“There are neither doctors nor medicines to treat patients in hospitals. Municipal corporations and urban local bodies are not paying any attention to cleanliness,” he alleged.

The SP chief claimed that the inefficiency of officers and employees was visible due to wrong policies of the BJP and corruption.
