Telangana Congress has said Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao cannot wash his hands-off by adopting Ayushman Bharat that has limited benefits, and inclusion of COVID-19 treatment in Arogyasri, he needs to take steps to control the loot by private hospitals and bring some succour to the people. Addressing a press conference here, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, Leader of the Congress Legislature Party Bhatti Vikramarka, MLC. T. Jeevan Reddy and AICC spokesperson Dasoju Sravan asked why the government was in a state of inertia on controlling the private hospitals that are violating G.O. No 248 that put a cap on the prices of treatment. Despite the hospitals openly looting COVID patients billing them lakhs of rupees not a single case has been booked so far, Mr. Uttam Reddy said and wondered whether people in the government were hand-in-glove with the hospital managements.
