Harish Rao criticized Revanth Reddy and the Congress leaders for their “habit of spreading falsehoods”. He contrasted the progress made under the BRS rule, emphasizing that while the Congress managed to establish only one medical college in Telangana every 20 years, under KCR rule, eight medical colleges have been opened in just one year, with an additional nine medical colleges slated to open this year.

Additionally, the minister acknowledged that Laxma Reddy had also facilitated the establishment of a 50-bed hospital in Kodangal, which was previously represented by the state Congress president Revanth Reddy.
