It is a mockery of Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi's Every Person is Important (EIP) mantra, that the dean of KEM Hospital issued a list of 40 VIPs, who will get preferential treatment at BMC hospitals.

The circular issued recently states categorically to give preferential treatment to politicians and statesmen as well as patients accompanied by them. The circular adds that these VIPs should be treated on a priority basis. The justification for this is that corporators were cribbing about how they had to wait in queues.
