Just look at that crowd with this minister! He is sports minister, talking bull shit, as the doctors in government hospitals do not care as they get no hefty fee. Just look at the very uncomfortable steel cots ton which these patients lie. Show them arond the world to inform how advanced India is today! Yet Modi goes around foreign countries boasting about modern India! The scoundrel.
