Ex-CM Champai Soren: Jharkhand Health Minister Banna Gupta Poses as Fake Doctor

• Former Jharkhand CM Champai Soren alleges Health Minister Banna Gupta is posing as a fake doctor in government hospital OPDs.
• Minister Banna Gupta's name is not on the National Medical Council's authorized doctor list, and he has a legal background, not medical.
• Ministers are reportedly seen in OPDs wearing white coats and giving advice, potentially for social media content, raising ethical and legal concerns.
• The practice is deemed a serious threat to patient lives and may violate the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, as unregistered persons cannot practice medicine.
• Other issues mentioned include 250 acres of RIMS land being encroached upon and allegations of corruption within the health department and the government.
