BJP Accuses Jharkhand Govt of Religious Agenda in Clinic Renaming
The government in Jharkhand changed the names of some clinics.
A political party, the BJP, is upset.
They believe the name change is a sneaky way to encourage people to change religions, which they don't like.
The BJP respects Mother Teresa but doesn't think she helped Jharkhand enough to deserve the clinics to be named after her.
The BJP is planning to protest this decision.
Jharkhand government renamed Atal Mohalla Clinics to Mother Teresa Advanced Health Clinics.
BJP leader Amar Kumar Bauri alleged the renaming promotes religious conversion.
Bauri stated BJP respects Mother Teresa but questioned her contribution to Jharkhand.
The Atal Mohalla Clinic scheme was launched in August 2019 by former CM Raghubar Das.
BJP plans a large protest against the name change.
