Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan accused the Union government of trying to snatch the credit for Kerala’s development in health sector. He said the Centre was trying to steal the credit by rebranding the State’s gains.
Addressing the media after a breakfast meet with invited guests during Navakerala Sadas at Perinthalmanna on Thursday, the Chief Minister said the Centre was trying to rebrand the State’s primary health centres (PHCs) as ‘Ayushman Arogya Mandir’.
“They (the Centre) want our PHCs to be renamed Ayushman Arogya Mandir before December 31. Think about that situation. It is never a healthy suggestion,” he said.
