Hyderabad: Expressing concern over the rising dengue deaths, BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Monday suggested that the State government acknowledge the serious problem and declare a health emergency in Telangana.

Rama Rao took to X and pointed out that while the State government has been claiming that there are no dengue deaths in the State, at least five deaths were reported on Saturday and three on Monday.

He stated that government hospitals were facing a shortage of medicines and three-four patients are being forced to share a single bed in most hospitals, due to increasing cases. “Who is hiding the data and why? Time to admit there is a serious problem and declare a health emergency,” he said.

In another post, the BRS working president slammed the State government for not implementing the Rythu Bharosa investment support for the last two seasons. He said the Congress government failed to fulfil its electoral promise and deprived Rs 15,000 per annum to farmers and tenant farmers as well as Rs 12,000 to farm labourers.

“The number of beneficiaries of crop loan waiver is far less than those who were denied. There is none to explain to them why they were deprived of the benefit, despite having all eligibility. The Congress has once again shown an empty hand to farmers to deceive them,” he said.

 

రుణమాఫీ అయిన రైతులకన్నా..
కంటతడి పెట్టిన కుటుంబాలే ఎక్కువ
అన్నివిధాలా అర్హత ఉన్నా..
ఎందుకు రుణమాఫీ కాలేదో చెప్పెటోడు లేడు…

రెండు సీజన్లు అయినా..
రైతుభరోసా ఇంకా షురూ చెయ్యలే

జూన్ లో వేయాల్సిన రైతుభరోసా..
ఆగష్టు దాటుతున్నా రైతుల ఖాతాలో వెయ్యలే..!!
