National:  A war of words has broken out between Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's officer and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's special MLA. The CMO also spoke bluntly and the MLA also gave a big advice. This whole matter is about CM Yogi's officer Meerut CMO Dr. Ashok Kataria and Akhilesh Yadav's MLA Atul Pradhan. In the crowd that had come to surround the CMO office, the CM bluntly said that he will not come under pressure in the wrong way and then Atul Pradhan gave a big retort. Now both are seen face to face.

SP MLA Atul Pradhan had come to Meerut to gherao the CMO office over the pile of complaints against private hospitals and the mismanagement in government hospitals and sat on a dharna there. He made several serious allegations against the health department, after which CMO Dr. Ashok Kataria also came and sat on the dharna to listen to the problems. The leaders and speakers spoke one by one. 

SP MLA Atul Pradhan also exposed the private hospitals. Now when it was CMO Dr. Ashok Kataria's turn, he said that my way of working is different, I am taking action against those private hospitals which are running without registration or are running in the wrong way. I will solve whatever problems there are, but if anyone is not satisfied with me, I will leave the chair, I will leave the district but I will not come under anyone's pressure in the wrong way.

People started applauding what the CMO said

When CMO Dr. Ashok Kataria was presenting his side, the crowd that had come with SP MLA Atul Pradhan was listening to the CMO very carefully. CMO Dr. Ashok Kataria said that whatever problems there are, I will solve them. I will tell you and if there is any shortcoming then tell me. I will fulfill whatever responsibility I have in the health department, whatever problems are there in the complaint letter related to the health department, I will solve them and inform you. After this he said that even then if anyone is not satisfied with me then I will leave the chair, but I will not come under pressure in a wrong way. On this, the people sitting with SP MLA Atul Pradhan on the protest clapped, which remained a topic of discussion.

Atul Pradhan also hit back at CMO 

This protest against private hospitals in CMO office was led by SP MLA Atul Pradhan. Seeing such attitude of CMO Dr. Ashok Kataria, how could SP MLA Atul Pradhan stay behind. He hit back at CMO and said if CMO is in such hurry then he should leave the chair, someone else will come and look after the work. I will not leave my chair, people have elected me. CMO wants to run away from responsibility.

SP MLA reached to surround CMO office

He said that we have not created pressure, we have given seven days time. We are not asking you to do the work of the collector. Actually, SP MLA Atul Pradhan had come to gherao the CMO office with complaints about private hospitals and the deteriorating conditions of government hospitals. CMO Dr. Ashok Kataria was also called to the protest and a memorandum of demands was handed over and a week's time was also given. CMO sahab took the mike and told how he is working. After this, he directly told the crowd that he is not ready to come under pressure.

Let us tell you that this is the first time that a CMO has presented his point so clearly and strongly in front of a crowd of hundreds of people. The CMO listened to the entire matter and then presented his side strongly. Various kinds of discussions are going on in Meerut regarding this. The crowd of hundreds of people present there and MLA Atul Pradhan himself would not have thought that CMO Dr. Ashok Kataria would speak so clearly. Now that the matter has come out, it will go a long way and there will be discussions too.

Atul Pradhan will do a big movement on October 10

Meanwhile, SP MLA Atul Pradhan is going to hold a big agitation on October 10, which includes the mismanagement of private schools, private hospitals and government hospitals. Before that agitation, this dharna in the health department is being seen as a trial.
