Green Caps, Yellow Flags and ‘Team Tej Pratap’
Sporting a green cap, the former minister was greeted by supporters waving yellow-and-green flags emblazoned with “Tej Pratap Team”. Every vehicle in his convoy carried the same flag, and slogans in his favour rent the air, according to Dainik Jagran.
Yadav inspected the under-construction medical college hospital in Mahua.
He added that the Grand Alliance government had approved the project. “For years, local residents had to travel to Patna or other big cities for quality treatment. This hospital will give relief not only to Mahua but also to neighbouring areas,” he said as per Jagran's report.
Emphasising his focus on strict timelines and high standards, Yadav stated: “My priority is to see that construction is completed on time and with quality”
Officials briefed him on the status of work, which includes plans for an OPD, IPD, emergency wing, state-of-the-art operating theatres and laboratories, the report stated.
