Trashing the Centre’s claim the health sector allotment had been increased by 35 per cent, the CM said the fact was that numbers had been effectively fudged to project a hike by including the Rs 35000 Crore Covid vaccine allotment and the amount set aside for sanitation and cleanliness under the health head. Actually, the budget for health was down 10 per cent, he added.
