Chandigarh, April 27: Mr Satya Pal Jain, BJP candidate for the parliamentary elections, addressing a rally here today, said the city would have a dental college if he was voted to power. He said he had completed the preliminary discussions with Mrs Sushma Swaraj, Union Minister for Health, in this regard and received a positive response.
He said the quota of seats would be doubled in Government Medical College and Hospital. He alleged that although the Central Government had laid the foundation stone of the Medical College in 1991, but Mr Pawan Bansal of the Congress did not take any steps in this direction.
He said when he was elected Member of Parliament for the first time in 1996, he got Rs 225 crore sanctioned from the Union Health Ministry for the completion of the Medical College and got recognition from the Medical Council of India. He said if voted to power, he would get the number of seats doubled in the Medical College. Mr Jain undertook 'pad yatras' in Sectors 27, 40, 26 (Sabzi Mandi) and 8. He also addressed public meetings in Sector 21, Ram Darbar, Sector 24 (rehri market), Sector 42 (Nehru Colony) and Sector 20.
