Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee (JPCC) President, Sukhdeo Bhagat today demanded an inquiry into report of a patient allegedly served food on the floor of a reputed hospital ward in the state capital on Wednesday last.
"The incident exhibits the BJP-led government's insensitivity, inhuman approach," Bhagat, who was in the steel city to take part in a rally to be held tomorrow said.
The rally was aimed to remind Chief Minister Raghubar Das of his promises made to accord ownership right to residents living in 123 bustees (slums) in his home constituency in the steel city.
