    Heat & Humidity rising day by day in # Bihar, think about parents & families suffering in this critical time. Public wants to know where these money are going?

    The disaster of Health and Education in Bihar. CM took 17 days for him to visit the Hospital. No water to drink in Hospitals. No Research yet on the unknown Disease. No beds in the Hospitals. Children dying for the last 10 years.

    Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey on Monday for allegedly asking about the score during the World Cup cricket match between India and Pakistan, while he was at a press conference of Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan in Muzaffarpur district where nearly 100 children have died due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES).

    Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan who is Doctor himself blaming 'Litchis' for death instead of arranging the medical supplies and additional Doctors.

    The whole of West Asia consumes more 'Litchis' than India. But only in PM Modi's India children die of eating fruits every year for the same reasons.
