‘Will you use your own brain too': Tejashwi's jibe after Nitish hikes pay of ASHA and Mamta workers
The Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance government has announced an increase in the honorarium for ASHA and Mamta workers in the state, prompting Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav to seek credit for the move. In a post on X Wednesday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced that honorarium of ASHA, or Accredited Social Health Activists, workers was being tripled to Rs 3,000 crore and that of Mamta workers was going to be doubled to Rs 600 for every child they help deliver. 'Since the formation of the government in November 2005, we have worked on a large scale to improve healthcare services… In recognition of the significant contribution of ASHA and Mamta workers in strengthening healthcare services in rural areas, it has been decided to increase their honorarium amount.' While ASHA, or Accredited Social Health Activists, are community health workers in rural India. Under the National Rural Health Mission, they are seen as bridge between the community and the public health system. Mamata workers, on the other hand, are contractual health workers in maternity wards of government hospitals that are meant to care for newborns and their mothers. Both are crucial links in the rural healthcare chain. ASHA workers currently get Rs 1,000 while Mamta workers Rs 300/child. The decision comes months ahead of the assembly polls and follows a series of recent welfare measures by the Nitish cabinet, from infrastructure and employment to education and healthcare. These include the promise of one crore jobs over the next 5 years, the development of the Maa Janki temple in Sitamarhi, increasing social welfare pensions, reservation for women in state government jobs and free electricity up to 125 units. Soon after Wednesday's announcement, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader and Bihar's former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav accused his former ally Nitish of 'repackaging and claiming credit' for initiatives introduced during his tenure. In a post on X, Yadav said: 'In my 17-month tenure as Health Minister, I had initiated the process of increasing the incentive amount for ASHA and Mamta workers which had reached its final stage, but the government and the Chief Minister habitually backtracked. This incompetent NDA government then sat on it for two years. Finally… they had to bow to our demand'. Yadav further criticised the government for what he called a partial implementation of the proposal. 'Here, the government has cleverly not implemented our demand in full. They (ASHA and Mamta workers) deserve honorarium, not just incentives. We will provide them with an honorarium,' he said. The Nitish-led NDA government will now be compelled to increase the honorarium of Anganwadi workers, helpers, and cooks too, he said. He then went on to say: 'It feels good to see how this imitation-prone, exhausted, visionless government is now visibly rattled by our demands, promises, and intent. The same government and ministers, leaders, and officials who once mocked our announcements are now scrambling as they see power slipping from their hands. Sab kuch Tejashwi ka hi nakal karoge ya apni bhi akal lagaoge (Will you copy everything from Tejashwi, or will you use your own brain too)?'

Thalassemia cases surge in Punjab, account for 6% of national burden
Chandigarh: Punjab has emerged as a significant contributor to the national thalassemia burden, accounting for nearly 6% of all registered cases across the country in 2025. As many as 257 thalassemia patients were registered in the state so far this year, including 87 children under the age of 12. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Across the country, 4,361 patients were recorded by July 22, 2025, according to official data shared by the Union health ministry in the Rajya Sabha. Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body produces an abnormal or insufficient amount of haemoglobin — the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen. The disorder leads to the destruction of red blood cells and results in anaemia. Symptoms vary with severity and type, but commonly include fatigue, jaundice, shortness of breath, and growth delays in children. Severe cases may lead to bone deformities, organ enlargement, and other complications, while mild cases may remain asymptomatic. The current numbers mark the first full-scale registry of thalassemia patients since the disease was integrated into the Sickle Cell Portal in 2023. This digital platform enables state govts to upload patient and screening data to support monitoring, follow-up, and early intervention. While states such as Bihar (1,410 patients), Uttar Pradesh (1,546), and Odisha (454) reported higher absolute case counts, Punjab's data is notable because it reported zero cases in 2023 and 2024. The sudden jump in 2025 is attributed to improved reporting mechanisms rather than a surge in disease incidence. The ministry of health and family welfare clarified that state-level registration began after the thalassemia module was added to the Sickle Cell Portal in 2023. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Punjab has also seen a significant rise in financial allocations under the National Health Mission (NHM) for blood disorders, including thalassemia. In 2024–25, the state was granted Rs 7,024.47 lakh—more than double the Rs 3,148.08 lakh allocated in the previous year. This places Punjab among the top-funded states, following only Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. According to the health ministry, while thalassemia management primarily falls under the purview of respective state and UT govts, the Centre supports preventive and treatment services through the NHM. This includes assistance for blood bank infrastructure, day care centres, medicines, diagnostic labs, awareness campaigns (IEC), and human resource training, based on state-specific programme implementation plans. In partnership with Coal India Limited (CIL), the ministry is also implementing the Thalassemia Bal Sewa Yojana (TBSY). Under this scheme, financial aid of up to Rs 10 lakh is provided for bone marrow transplants (BMT) for eligible patients, funded through CIL's corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme. Seventeen hospitals across India have been empanelled under the scheme to carry out BMT procedures. Additionally, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) regulates the cost of drugs used for thalassemia treatment. Three iron chelation drugs — Desferrioxamine, Deferiprone, and Deferasirox—are provided at public health facilities with pricing governed by the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Notably, the ceiling price for Desferrioxamine powder for injection (500 mg), a scheduled formulation, has already been fixed to ensure affordability. MSID:: 122998585 413 |

Yadav, in a post on X, said, "During my 17-month tenure as health minister, I had initiated the process of increasing the incentive amount for ASHA and Mamta workers, which was in its final stage, but then the CM, as usual, took the U-turn (formed govt with support of the BJP)." Yadav also alleged, "The NDA govt had been sitting on it (proposal to increase incentive) for two years. Finally, they had to bow down to our demand and increase the incentive amount for ASHA and Mamta workers."
