The Story in Brief
The Hindu reports that BJP state president Nainar Nagenthran on Friday criticised the TVK-led government's health department over deaths in state-run hospitals. He cited a man's death in Madurai, a 10-month-old child in Gobichettipalayam, and a 14-year-old boy in Theni district. Nagenthran accused Health Minister K.G. Arunraj of focusing on social media reels instead of improving hospital infrastructure. He urged ministers to ensure sufficient doctors and medicines for the poor. Earlier, Nagenthran chaired a party meeting with senior leaders including Tamilisai Soundararajan and Pon. Radhakrishnan.
The Indian Opinion
The BJP's attack on the TVK government over hospital deaths is expected political theatre, but it highlights genuine gaps in public healthcare. The opposition must produce evidence of negligence, while the government should release data on recent infrastructure upgrades. Until the specific cases are investigated and addressed, both sides risk exploiting tragedy for votes. A credible test will be the promised audit of district hospitals next month.
