Inspections by CM Rekha Gupta at GTB hospital revealed criticisms towards the former Aam Aadmi Party government over what she described as wasted healthcare resources and funding. A recent CAG report drew her comments on unused equipment worth thousands of crores, leftover since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chief Minister Gupta alleged only temporary structures were built under the prior administration, with no real facilities available. Highlighting filled storage with unused equipment in hospitals beyond GTB, she questioned financial management, spotlighting that temporary structures remain incomplete and scarce in utilities.

Gupta accused former CM Arvind Kejriwal of responsibility for this fiscal mismanagement and sought answers regarding the financial inefficacy impacting Delhi's health infrastructure, emphasizing a pressing need for accountability.
