'Previous govt took bribe for each medical license': UP CM Yogi Adityanath
Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Sep 16 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday accused the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) government of taking bribes for issuing medical licenses in the state. The Chief Minister was in Gorakhpur for the inauguration of the IMA Charitable Blood Centre. Urging citizens to donate blood, Chief Minister Adityanath said: Medical facilities, equipments and medicines can be made to suit modern standards but blood cannot be made. It is a symbol of compassion where a donor saves a life of a recipient. We are witnessing a new Gorakhpur, a new Uttar Pradesh, a New India, which has undergone a massive transformation in healthcare, he asserted while adding that earlier there was only one hospital in eastern Uttar Pradesh where four patients used to share one bed. Today, the BRD Medical College in Gorakhpur is a super speciality hospital which has emerged as the centre of treatment for various diseases, including Encephalitis. Today there is an AIIMS in Gorakhpur. Two medical colleges and four universities are also functional in the district today, CM Adityanath said. The Chief Minister also launched an attack on the previous governments in the state. Without directly naming previous governments, CM Adityanath said: The government (Samajwadi Party) at that time used to demand money for every license. I used to tell them that we would provide all the facilities required, but we would not pay a single rupee as a bribe...When you work hard, God also supports you. Along with blood bank, the functioning of the first ICU of eastern Uttar Pradesh has been started by Guru Shri Gorakshnath Chikitsalaya, he stressed. He claimed that earlier people had to go to Lucknow for medical treatments like dialysis but now it has been made available in Gorakhpur itself. Today, several quality hospitals in Gorakhpur are providing facilities like dialysis. Under a government scheme, 10 beds in each district hospital can avail dialysis facility free of cost, he said. Chief Minister Adityanath said that the number of MBBS seats in the state has increased, what was previously 4,600 is now more than 13,500. Postgraduation seats have doubled. The number of nursing colleges has also increased, and new paramedical courses and institutes are being established to strengthen health services. Work has now begun to take this further by developing centres of excellence. We are setting up a Centre of Excellence for MedTech at IIT Kanpur in collaboration with the institute, with support from the state government. We are also developing a Centre of Excellence at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) in Lucknow, he added.

Should not be increased: UP Minister Sanjay Nishad opposes hike in UPI charges
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 16 (IANS) Amid the Centre's decision to introduce a 0.4 per cent UPI charge on certain merchant transactions above Rs 2,000, Uttar Pradesh Minister Sanjay Nishad on Wednesday said such charges should not be increased as they could add to the burden on consumers. India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) services will attract a fractional charge on merchant transactions above Rs 2,000, while person-to-person payments will remain outside the new framework. The new UPI Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) framework will come into effect from October 15. According to the new rules issued by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), a 0.4 per cent charge will apply to eligible transactions made by consumers to merchants. Speaking to reporters, Nishad said, Today, there are international issues, whether related to inflation or anything else. We feel that such charges should not be increased. Under what circumstances has it been increased? Since it affects customers and the public. Today, there is democracy in the world. Democracy always means reducing the burden, providing opportunities and facilities, and ensuring that people do not face any kind of hardship. Rather, democracy is the name of medicine for hardship. Reacting to the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet's decision to convert 14,429 primary schools into smart schools at a cost of Rs 300 crore, Nishad said the initiative should ensure that children from economically weaker sections also benefit. British were smart. They made the rich smart, but how will the poor become smart? Pandit Deendayal Upadhyayas thinking was that even the person at the bottom of the social ladder should get the opportunity for development. So, a child born into a poor family should also study in a smart classroom, become smart and move forward, he said. Nishad also commented on Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav becoming president of the Lohia Trust. The name of the trust itself is Nyas, and Nyas means trust. If you do not have trust in your own blood relations, then what will you do with others? Politics is also another form of trust. In politics, people place their trust in a leader, their party, their constituency and all their people. So, if there is a lack of trust at the top, when you do not even trust your own blood relations, what will you do with others? he said. On Yadav's remarks concerning the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Nishad said, The kind of advisers he has is the reason he is out of power today. The Constitution always talks about social justice. Social justice will be achieved only when there is a Uniform Civil Code and equal rights. Rights are given through laws, Acts and notifications.
