Jharkhand Health Minister Irfan Ansari has dismissed the CAG report against the health department as baseless. He stated that he is unsure how much truth or falsehood is in the report, and only an investigation will reveal the facts. He also pointed out that the CAG had previously reported on the 2G spectrum scam and accused Suresh Kalmadi, who was later proven innocent.
Minister Ansari emphasized that although the issue currently pertains to his department, the alleged irregularities took place during the tenure of former Chief Minister Raghubar Das. He further criticized BJP leader Babulal Marandi for speaking against him, stating that once Marandi realizes the matter is linked to the BJP’s rule, he will not oppose it.
Ansari made these remarks while speaking to journalists at Dumka Circuit House. He was in Dumka to appear in the MP-MLA court for a case.
