She emphasized that the current government ensures justice and that the public holds the ultimate power in a democracy.
Regarding RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s visit to the Purnia Medical College, Singh stated that if Yadav had assessed the hospital’s situation when he was Health Minister, it would have demonstrated his commitment to improving healthcare. She implied that his visit was politically motivated. Singh criticized him for not informing the hospital administration and the subsequent problems that arose.
