CPI(M) TS secretariat committee member Julakanti Ranga Reddy blamed Modi government for failing to control the spread of the virus

Nalgonda: CPI(M) State secretariat committee member Julakanti Ranga Reddy on Saturday urged the Centre to pay ex-gratia to the families of those who died of Covid in the country.

Speaking during an online meeting of CPI(M) district committee of Nalgonda, Ranga Reddy alleged that the Centre had utterly failed to control the spread of the virus which had claimed the lives of thousands of people. The Centre and State governments should announce ex-gratia to the families of those who died of Covid, on the lines of Kerala government, he said.
