Siddipet: Former minister and MLA T Harish Rao criticized the government on Sunday, calling the recent deaths of Mahesh and Sravan due to dengue a result of government negligence. He visited and offered condolences to the families in Thimmapur village, Jagdevpur mandal.
Rao blamed the government for failing to maintain village sanitation. He pointed out that the Chief Minister has never reviewed the sanitation situation, leading to widespread viral fevers. Many people are falling sick and incurring heavy medical debts. According to Rao, the government’s intelligence has completely failed.
He mentioned that the previous Chief Minister, KCR, used to allocate Rs 300 crore monthly to gram panchayats. In contrast, Revanth Reddy has not allocated even a small amount. This has led to a loss of faith in government hospitals, forcing people to spend large amounts in private hospitals due to inadequate public healthcare.
Rao urged the government to take immediate action by releasing funds to gram panchayats and organizing special sanitation drives. He emphasized that it is the government’s duty to protect its people from such health crises.
