Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday offered support to Goa government in setting up Mohalla clinics in the state.

Responding to a Tweet of Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte, Kejriwal said that Mohalla clinics are the first line of defence against disease outbreaks and his government in Delhi would be happy to provide support to Goa government.

“Yes @RohanKhaunte ji, all states should consider investing in Mohalla clinics. They are the first line of defence against disease outbreaks. Delhi government will be happy to provide support to Goa government. Delhi and Goa can learn a lot from each other,” Kejriwal said.

Earlier, Khaunte took to twitter where he said, “@DelhiCM’s model of clinics can be easily replicated in Goa. If there is ever a time for government to go beyond political differences and act in the interest of people, it is now.”

He slammed the state government’s move to conduct a community survey that aims at identifying potential Covid-19 patients adding that he said that the government should instead focus on screening communities for Covid-19 just as its being done in Delhi, Maharashtra and Bhilwara in Rajasthan.
