Jharkhand Government Renames Clinics, Sparking Political Feud Over Mother Teresa’s Legacy

In a move that has triggered a political feud, the Jharkhand government has renamed the ‘Atal Mohalla Clinics’ to ‘Mother Teresa Advance Health Clinics.’ The BJP has strongly criticized the decision, calling it an insult to Atal Bihari Vajpayee and accusing the government of appeasement. The state’s health minister justified the renaming, citing Mother Teresa’s contributions to healthcare. The BJP raised objections based on controversies surrounding Mother Teresa’s organization, including allegations of conversion. The clinics were established by the previous government to provide essential healthcare services in urban areas.
