The Shiromani Akali Dal has targeted Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for his admission to Delhi's Apollo Hospital for treatment. The Shiromani Akali Dal said that the reality of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who talked big about the revolution of health facilities in the state, is that due to non-payment of funds by the state government, the Ayushman health insurance scheme running for the treatment of the poor and needy is private. It has been closed by hospitals and on the other hand, Bhagwant Maan goes to an expensive private hospital in Delhi for his own treatment.

In fact, according to reports, Bhagwant Mann had fallen at the Chandigarh airport the other day, after which he was taken back to Delhi's Apollo Hospital for medical examination.
