AAP criticizes BJP as Gujarat ranks second last in malnutrition; over 100 children hospitalized after contaminated water.
Gandhinagar : The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has sharply criticized the BJP-led Gujarat government over worsening malnutrition and public health issues in the state. According to the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS) report, Gujarat ranks second to last among Indian states in terms of child malnutrition, raising serious concerns about governance and accountability.
AAP leader Isudan Gadhvi questioned the misuse of funds allocated for nutrition, asking, “Who steals the thousands of crores of rupees that are meant for nutrition?”
ભાજપના રાજમાં આજે ગુજરાત કુપોષણનો શિકાર બની ગયું છે. NFHS ના રિપોર્ટ અનુસાર દેશના કુપોષિત રાજ્યોમાં ગુજરાત છેલ્લેથી બીજા ક્રમે છે જે એકદમ ચોંકાવનારો છે. પોષણના માટે આવતા હજારો કરોડ રૂપિયા કોણ ચોરી જાય છે?

Critics argue that these developments underscore the failure of the state government to prioritize the welfare of children and address basic public health concerns. AAP has called for immediate action to provide safe drinking water, ensure proper nutrition for children, and hold those responsible accountable.
Gadhvi further stated that the condition of children in Gujarat has become “pathetic” under BJP rule, urging both central and state authorities to take swift remedial measures.
As malnutrition and water contamination continue to threaten the lives of children in Gujarat, political tensions are escalating, with AAP pressing for urgent reforms in governance, public health, and accountability.
