On Friday, Banerjee claimed that the state government had already inaugurated the campus of the hospital that Narendra Modi was launching at the virtual inauguration of the 2nd campus of Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute (CNCI) in Kolkata. Banerjee pays no attention to details and shows up unprepared for meetings with the Prime Minister. She describes mortality as comorbidity and believes that she is raising valid and intelligent making an intelligent point.
Opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari started blistering criticism through a series of tweets. Adhikari stated that "Guilefully articulating the emergency usage of an under-construction facility as a safe home during the second wave of Covid, to discredit the formal inauguration of the most advanced fully-equipped cancer facility of Eastern India is a deliberate attempt to mislead the people of West Bengal."
The BJP leader said, "Not only did you deliberately defame the Central government by attempting to conceal that it has provided 75% of the funds, i.e., Rs 400 crore, but also you denigrated the Federal Policy of India and stained the sanctity of the occasion. How unfortunate."
Not only you disparaged intentionally, trying to conceal the fact that, the Central Govt has provided 75% of the funds; i.e. 400 crores, but also belittled the Federal Polity of India and stained the sanctity of a solemn occasion.

Mamata Banerjee is incorrigible. Notwithstanding the fact that she is on path of constant, needless confrontation, she must realise that inaugurating a building as Covid facility is NOT the same as inaugurating a Cancer facility in a hospital.

More than Rs 540 crore were spent on CNCI's second campus, of which about Rs 400 crore came from the Union government and the rest came from the state of West Bengal.
This campus houses a 460-bed cancer center with super-specialty diagnostic facilities. The facilities with the support of new treatment types of equipment make the center one the best in the nation.
