The doctors at AIIMS stepped into the shoes of Munnabhai to welcome Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss on Wednesday in the Gandhigiri style. <b>Posters carrying "Anbumani Get Well Soon" were put up at every nook and corner of the campus. Students, doctors and the attendants of the patients at the institute greeted the Minister with red roses. </b>
And it worked. The Minister took a U-turn from his statement 10 days back when he alleged that the dengue case was on rise in the campus due to negligence of authorities. Ramadoss on Wednesday said, "The authorities at AIIMS have done a wonderful job in coping up with the situation." According to the resident doctors, Gandhigiri was the only way to show their sentiments to the Minister. The resident doctors and the students were upset with the Minister and complained that why did he visit AIIMS after 10 days when the situation at the institute has begun to normalise.
Spokesperson of the Residents Doctors' Association Dr Anil Sharma said,<b> "This was to show that the Minister is doing dadagiri and we will in every way try to solve this controversy through Gandhigiri. It was a symbolic protest and we would like to draw his attention that we would not give up the issue so easily." </b>Sharma even criticised the Minister for showing his vested interests in the institute questioning his visit to AIIMS when all the Government hospitals in the Capital were reeling under pressure to deal with the dengue menace.

Meanwhile, 75 new cases of dengue were reported from across the city on Wednesday. However, in last 48 hours no deaths were reported giving some relief to citizens and authorities.
