KTR slams Congress over NHM staff protests, donates Rs 30 lakh equipment
The Story in Brief
BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Monday, 26 October, inaugurated medical equipment worth Rs 30 lakh at the Rajanna Sircilla district government hospital, procured through CSR funds, and criticised the Congress government for neglecting healthcare facilities developed during the previous BRS regime.
Separately, NHM employees who have been on relay hunger strikes and protests for two weeks met Rama Rao in Sircilla. He accused the Congress government of ignoring their demands, recalled that the previous BRS administration extended Pay Revision Commission benefits to contract and outsourcing workers, and assured the employees that the BRS would raise their issues during Assembly sessions.
Rama Rao said he would discuss the employees' demands with BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao and advised them to continue their agitation and meet public representatives to press the government for a resolution.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Telangana Today and The Hans India report the same events: KTR's equipment donation and his criticism of the Congress government over NHM staff grievances. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, with both outlets quoting KTR's accusation that the Congress ignored two weeks of protests and his promise to raise the issue in the Assembly. Neither source includes a response from the Congress government or from NHM employees themselves. The balanced reading is that KTR's statement frames the BRS as pro-worker and pro-healthcare, but the absence of any official rebuttal leaves his claims untested. The next concrete step is the BRS's planned discussion with K Chandrashekar Rao and the Assembly sessions where the matter is to be raised.
