Yadav also said that the BJP government is planning to end the existence of Babu Mohan Singh Hospital to deprive the residents of the district from the facilities of the district hospital. Apart from this, farmers are being forced to stop construction of Pipa bridge in Mahal Manjhariya due to which they are not able to reach their fields.
