Beneath the hype of a prosperous state dispelling the global gloom is an ugly underside, that of a decaying health infrastructure which puts Gujarat in the league of the worst performing states
...
Out of 100 affected persons, 29 have died of suspected hepatitis B, most of them children. It has taken quite a while for the doctors to figure out what had actually hit the patients flooding the government hospitals in the area over the last one week.
...
the epidemic has once again exposed the rickety health infrastructure put in place in the countryside of Gujarat which otherwise boasts of prosperity. Compared to the huge revenue collections in Gujarat, spending on health has been low.

This for a state whose chief minister has been endorsed by Sunil Mittal and Anil Ambani for PM of India post!

Speaking at the valedictory session of the Fourth Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit, Ambani said, "Narendrabhai has done good for Gujarat and what will happen if he leads the nation."
"Gujarat has seen progress in all the fields under his leadership. Now, imagine what will happen to the nation if he leads the nation," he said and added, "Person like him should be the next leader of the country."


One can only imagine what will happens if he leads the nation..
