Hard to find truth in Modi's words: Rahul
New Delhi, April 29: Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that while Modi keeps making promises, the common man has a hard time finding truth in his words.
"Our Prime Minister keeps speaking and making promises. Wherever he goes, he makes a few new promises to the people. But the people have had a hard time sifting through his words and find truth in them. Oh this man has made so many promises but where is the truth, they wonder," Gandhi said.
The Congress President was addressing the ‘Jan Aakrosh' rally organised by the party in the national capital.
"He had promised employment to two lakh people every year. People trusted him. But after four years what we have is widespread unemployment. Measures like demonetisation and the Gabbar Singh Tax (GST) have briken the back of the informal sector," Gandhi added.

Health Minister warns hospital staff against sending patients to nearby pharmacies
Bengaluru: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao has cautioned hospital personnel against directing patients to nearby pharmacies for prescribed medicines, despite an adequate supply being available in the hospital.
In a post on his 'X' account on Tuesday, the minister stated that the Karnataka government is working to eliminate 'unnecessary' pharmacies near government hospitals. He wrote, "Necessary action has been taken against medical staff who ask patients to get medicines from private pharmacies instead of providing them free medicines at the hospital. Making free medicines available to patients at all primary health centres, community health centres, taluk, and district hospitals in the state is the primary objective of our government."
Discussing medical supplies, Rao said that the government has already successfully addressed issues related to tendering processes. With the necessary drug supply to all government hospitals rising to 70 to 80 percent, the government aims to ensure this supply level reaches 100 percent. The list of medicines available in hospitals has expanded from around 300 to over 1,000, and all these medicines will be provided to patients free of cost, he assured.
"No patient should be denied medication at a hospital, as our government is focused on providing free health facilities. We have implemented the special 'Gruha Arogya' programme for this purpose. Diabetic patients and those with high blood pressure will receive free medicines, which will be delivered to their homes," the health minister stated.
