The state of government hospitals in Maharashtra has come under severe criticism following a series of deaths due to alleged medical negligence and drug shortages. The incidents have reignited concerns about the state's healthcare system, with blame being placed on the BJP-led government.

In the wake of the recent tragedy at a government hospital in Nanded, where 31 patients, including newborns, lost their lives within a span of 48 hours, and another 10 deaths at Ghati Hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, including two newborns, the public has expressed outrage. These incidents have led to accusations of indifference on the part of the government.
