UP govt lying on AIIMS issue, alleges Gorakhpur MP Adityanath

Gorakhpur: The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament from Gorakhpur constituency Yogi Adityanath, on Monday, blasted Uttar Pradesh government for misleading on setting up AIIMS in the city.

Leading a protest march in support of the demand of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Gorakhpur, the BJP MP said UP Chief Minister Akhilesh yadav was lying on the matter as the centre would make available the funds only after the state government would acquire the land which it did not.

Thousands of party workers had started the protest march from the statue of Maharana Pratap near Gorakhpur railway station. (Watch the video below)
