Several BRS MLAs, MLCs and senior leaders were placed under house arrest in Hyderabad on Saturday as they planned to visit the recently inaugurated Sanathnagar TIMS hospital. The leaders wanted to inspect services and enquire about treatment being provided to patients.
The BRS has highlighted the timeline of Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences projects, asserting that the KCR-led government conceived the initiative, sanctioned funds and began construction. The claims come amid a political dispute over credit for the Sanathnagar TIMS campus.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said the Osmania, Alwal, LB Nagar and Warangal hospitals would be completed by December 9, 2027. He said the Congress government had prioritised the projects and allocated funds for their early completion.
The Congress government in Telangana faces criticism from the BRS over repeated delays in operationalising the Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences facilities at LB Nagar, Sanathnagar and Alwal. Despite multiple announcements, including a promise to open the Sanathnagar facility within 30 days of October 23, no progress has been made.
