'Purvanchal will become medical hub': PM Modi in UP's Siddharthnagar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated nine medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh from Siddharthnagar. The nine medical colleges are in the districts of Siddharthnagar, Etah, Hardoi, Pratapgarh, Fatehpur, Deoria, Ghazipur, Mirzapur and Jaunpur.

Hitting out at previous regimes, PM Modi said they were busy filling family lockers and earning for themselves. "Has it ever happened before that nine colleges were inaugurated? The reason is political priorities. Our priority is to save poor people's money and provide them with facilities," PM Modi said, adding, "The earlier govt had left people of Purvanchal to suffer from diseases, but now it will become a medical hub of Northern India."
