''Medical facilities alone will not solve the problems of the villagers. The rural people need electricity, water and roads,'' he said.

Mr Pandian said the government should send only experienced doctors to the rural areas and not medical students.

''Instead of taking initiatives in this regard, Dr Ramadoss is terming others as the 'enemies' of rural people,'' he added.
