The political landscape of Punjab is currently marked by tension and speculation surrounding the health of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Bikram Singh Majithia, General Secretary of the Shiromani Akali Dal, has made a serious allegation regarding Mann's health, claiming that he is suffering from liver cirrhosis and has been advised by doctors to abstain from alcohol. This statement, made during an interview with ANI, has sparked widespread concern and debate, particularly in light of Mann's recent hospitalizations.
Majithia's claims are rooted in Mann's recent admittance to Fortis Hospital in Amritsar. The lack of official information regarding the reason for his hospitalization has fueled rumors and speculation. Majithia points to the secrecy surrounding the situation, drawing parallels to a similar incident in Tamil Nadu where a lack of transparency regarding a political leader's health condition led to public unrest. He urges for complete transparency from the Punjab government, the Chief Secretary, Health Minister, and Fortis Hospital, arguing that the public deserves to know the truth.
The allegation of liver cirrhosis, if true, would have serious implications for Mann's health and ability to fulfill his duties as Chief Minister. Liver cirrhosis is a serious condition characterized by the scarring of the liver, often caused by excessive alcohol consumption. The condition can lead to various health complications and even death if not treated effectively. While Majithia's claims remain unconfirmed, the seriousness of the allegations coupled with the lack of official information has understandably created a climate of anxiety and uncertainty in Punjab.
The situation has further fueled the ongoing political rivalry between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Shiromani Akali Dal. The AAP, currently in power in Punjab, has maintained that Mann's hospitalizations were routine checkups, dismissing the seriousness of the situation. However, Majithia's allegations, if substantiated, could damage the AAP's credibility and raise questions about Mann's ability to effectively lead the state. The coming days will be crucial in determining the veracity of Majithia's claims and how the Punjab government responds to the growing public concern.
