TS BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar has demanded that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao immediately remove Health Minister T. Harish Rao from his post and suspend Director of Public Health G. Srinivasa Rao for the botched-up family planning operations in which four women lost their lives.
Addressing a press conference at the party office on Tuesday, the BJP president levelled serious allegations against the DPH and accused him of overstaying in the deputation post and corrupt practices reaching to the top.
“KCR is trying to save his nephew so he does not want to react to the deaths of the women belonging to the poorer sections. No one from the ruling party has bothered to meet the grieving family members after the department had washed of the hands giving a meagre ₹5 lakh each. There is no respect for human lives in this regime,” he charged.
