Gujarat Congress MLAs protested outside the Vidhan Sabha on Monday on the issue of the PM-JAY scheme scandal that took place at Khyati hospital in Ahmedabad.

Congress leader Amit Chavda and other MLAs presented a dramatised version of the scam on the stairs leading to Vidhan Sabha.

In the play, MLAs Jignesh Mevani, Imran Khedawala, Dr Tushar Chaudhary became doctors, while Kankrej MLA Amritji Thakor became a patient.

Chavda, talking to media, said that the lives are lost for commission under the current BJP government, accusing the party of a ‘corruption racket’ spanning over several years.

He demanded a CBI investigation and a trial in a fast-track court in the Khyati hospital row.

Ahmedabad’s Khyati Hospital faced legal action after patients died following angioplasty which was allegedly conducted to benefit from the government’s Ayushman Bharat-PMJAY scheme.

Earlier on February 19, the MLAs had protested wearing handcuffs at the same spot, highlighting the mistreatment of the recent Gujarati deportees from the US.
