AHMEDABAD: Looking to set up a base in Gujarat ahead of the local body polls next year and the assembly elections in two years, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) set up its first Mohalla Clinic in Ahmedabad amid the pandemic.
AAP will make available free medical tests and provide free medicines and treatment to people even as it tweeted a picture of opening of the first mohalla clinic, saying, “Historic day for Ahmedabad today. Delhi’s health revolution has inspired doctors and social workers in Gujarat to open #MohallaCliicGujarat.” The party also tweeted, “Yes, it is possible with Aam Aadmi Party in Gujarat. ‘Ek Mauka AAP Ko, Fir Dekho Gujarat Ko’ (Give a chance to AAP, and then see the results).”
AAP MLA Gulab Singh Matiala, who is also co-incharge of the party’s Gujarat unit, formally inaugurated the ‘mohalla clinic’. “It is a wel know fact how helpful mohalla clinics can be for the people. Our volunteers have done a commendable job by beginning the mohalla clinic concept in Ahmedabad,” Matiala said.
