Earlier in the day, BJP leader Chug expressed worry about the "resignation of government doctors after humiliation and insult heaped on internationally renowned Dr Raj Bahadur, Vice Chancellor of the Baba Farid Medical University."
He said, "the Bhagwant Mann government has been trying to intimidate the doctors to cover up its inefficiency in improving the health services in the state."
"Neither the state health minister has been pulled up for his rude and unprofessional conduct, nor has the state government accepted the resignation of Dr Raj Bahadur. Is the AAP government trying to say that it would treat the eminent doctor, who is running his third term as Vice-chancellor as a puppet?" he further said.
Interestingly, an exact similar statement was released by Congress MLA Sukhpar Khiara on that day, raising speculation about him joining BJP.
