"The previous governments never kept this center in their priority according to its importance. As a result, this medical college, which was responsible for the treatment of crores of people, started looking like itself sick due to lack of timely resources. When its plight began to reach its peak in the second half of the nineties, it was first taken seriously," it claimed.

"There was no such session of Parliament since becoming an MP until he became Chief Minister in March 2017 when Yogi did not break the government's sleep over the problems of BRD Medical College. Sometimes due to lack of resources, sometimes encephalitis and sometimes due to the crisis of recognition, Yogi became the loud voice of the people of the eastern north in the country's house," said the state government.
