Hyderabad: Announce special relief package for people hit by lockdown says Gudur Narayana Reddy

Hyderabad: TPCC treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy on Thursday demanded the State government to announce a Special Relief Package for those affected due to lockdown as it was done by the Central government.

Speaking to media persons, Narayana Reddy blamed the State government for the spread of coronavirus despite imposition of lockdown since March 22.

"Initially, Health Minister Eatala Rajender blamed people with travel history for the spread of coronavirus. Later, he cursed Tableeghi Jamaat people for spreading the virus. Now he is holding poor migrant workers responsible for the continuous rise in coronavirus positive cases.

Instead of indulging in such a cheap blame game, the Health Minister must admit that KCR government has failed to identify the suspects at the right time and they were left untested. Consequently, many Covid-19 positive patients might have spread the virus unintentionally," he said.

He said that while the entire State is looking to the Chief Minister for some relaxations like waiver of water and electricity bills for the months of March and April, KCR is looking at the Centre expecting an increase in FRBM limit so that he could borrow a few more thousand crores of rupees which he could pay to contractors and take commission from the same.
