"Wonder why our Home Minister, when ill, chose not to go to AIIMS but to a private hospital in a neighbouring state," Tharoor said while while reacting to a Twitter post on the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi.

"Public institutions need the patronage of the powerful if they are to inspire public confidence," the MP from Thiruvananthapuram added. His remarks came in response to a tweet by a netizen hailing AIIMS as one of the “Temples of modern India, a concept coined by @FirstPMOfIndia".
