Punjab Health Minister Chetan Singh Jouramajra

Punjab Health Minister Chetan Singh Jouramajra is in the eye of a storm after he forced Dr Raj Bahadur, the vice-chancellor of Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) in Faridkot district, to lie down on a damaged mattress during an inspection. Jouramajra, a first-time MLA from Samana constituency of Patiala, is no stranger to controversy. The Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) decision to pick Jouramajra, a Class 12 pass, as health minister had come as a surprise as there were 10 party MLAs who were doctors. Following the incident at the Faridkot hospital, the decision to pick Jouramajra as health minister is once again being questioned. Raakhi Jagga brings to you this report.

Maharashtra Governor  Bhagat Singh Koshyari

From his statements on Chhatrapati Shivaji and Savitribai Phule to his moves during his protracted face-off with the previous Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has courted controversies several times since his appointment to the Mumbai Raj Bhavan in 2019. Koshyari is back at the centre of a row and is drawing a severe backlash from various political quarters over his remarks that Maharashtra, especially Mumbai and Thane, will be left with no money and cease to be a “financial capital” if members of the Gujarati and Rajasthani communities are “removed” from the state.
