Telangana: BJP lashes out against KTR vax talk

HYDERABAD: Refuting the allegations of KT Rama Rao, the BJP wondered why the minister who did not get inoculated till now is criticising the Centre for the vaccine shortage in the state.
At a news conference the national vice-president of the BJP, DK Aruna questioned why industries minister KTR did not do anything about the vaccine despite the vaccine being manufactured in Hyderabad.
BJP national spokesperson K Krishna Sagar Rao said KTR is an escapist and puts the blame on the Centre though health is a state subject.
In a press statement, he said, “Telangana State has zero policy on Covid-19 management, zero competence in implementing ICMR guidelines to test, trace and isolate since March 2020, and zero accountability on public health amidst this massive global pandemic. It had completely failed on all fronts in reference to Covid-19 pandemic related public health challenge.”
