The MP claimed that the health minister’s statement was factually incorrect as the Kerala government had already submitted the required Utilization Certificate on 16 November 2024.
“Despite this, over ₹636.88 crore remains pending, including approximately ₹100 crore earmarked for ASHA workers,” Sandosh said in a statement.
The MP accused the union government of “vendetta politics” and said the Union minister was “deflecting responsibility for delaying vital funds meant for healthcare delivery.”
“Such actions not only violate parliamentary accountability but also endanger public welfare by obstructing essential resources for frontline health workers,” he said in a statement.
