The statement made by the BJP national president, J.P. Nadda, claiming that 95% of the construction work of AIIMS Madurai building has been completed, led to MPs from opposition parties mocking the ruling party in the Centre.
Mr. Nadda who spoke during a meeting held with industrialists at Madurai on Thursday, claimed that 95% of the construction work has been completed. The number of MBBS seats for AIIMS has been increased from 100 to 250, he mentioned.
Reacting to it, Virudhunagar MP, B. Manickam Tagore (Congress) and Madurai MP, Su. Venkatesan (CPI-M), who inspected the AIIMS site at Thoppur on Friday said, even the board which claimed that the land belonged to AIIMS Madurai erected earlier was missing.
