Hyderabad, Sept.5 (Hydnow): Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President & Nalgonda MP N.Uttam Kumar Reddy today lashed out at state government for failing to contain the Covid 19 virus. He also alleged that TRS led state government had also left the people and the governance to the mercy of God.
Uttam said that the TRS Government was still trying to ‘manage’ Covid-19 situation by tampering with the statistics and creating the illusion of beating the disease. He said the Telangana High Court has pointed out the lapses in the public healthcare system on multiple occasions during the pandemic situation. However, the State Government did not take any measures to plug the loopholes. Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao did not even follow the suggestions made by Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan and treated those advises as political criticism.
Reddy said that the first case of Covid-19 was registered in Telangana in the month of March. Even after six months, the State Government did not improve testing facilities. He said that the World Health Organisation’s norm of ‘Track, Test & Treat’ was not followed in Telangana which led to the spread of Coronavirus in almost all areas of the State. He said it was due to the negligent attitude of KCR Govt that Covid-19 has spread to even small villages and hamlets.
