KCR not taking a lesson from Modi!

KCR not taking a lesson from Modi!

At a time when the entire country is suffering the impact of Coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going about in a systematic way without taking any unilateral decisions.

While the Prime Minister has entrusted the responsibility to a batch of task forces comprising senior bureaucrats and experts to monitor the situation and come up with solutions to save the country from a disaster, he is consulting almost everybody on a day to day basis on what the government should do to tackle the pandemic.

Modi has taken every opposition party into confidence and has been talking to them regularly to brief them about the situation.

He is talking to the chief ministers of all states, irrespective of the political parties they belong to and even with the opposition leaders from time to time.

But in Telangana, the situation is quite different. Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is talking only to his government officials, but is not bothered to brief the opposition parties even once. 

He has not called for an all-party meeting so far, let alone talking to them over phone, though all the parties are involved in Coronavirus relief operations in one way or the other. 

Though all the political leaders have contributed to the CM relief fund, he has not met them once even for courtesy.

What is worse, he has not even called medical experts like Dr Somaraju, Dr Guravareddy and Dr G Nageshwar Reddy for taking expert opinion on how to control the spread of the pandemic.

“KCR himself said he has been talking to Modi regularly. When PM is consulting opposition leaders, medical experts and economists, why can’t KCR do it here? Why is he behaving as if he knows everything? Why is he not taking the media reports in a positive angle? Why is he shouting at the media persons who raise pertinent questions?” Malkajgiri MP and Congress leader A Revanth Reddy asked.

He alleged that right from the beginning, KCR has been giving misleading statements.

“First he said paracetamol is enough to control the virus. Now, he says it is a fatal disease. Recently he said Telangana would be Coronavirus-free after April 7. Now, he has stopped talking about it, as the number of cases are mounting,” Revanth pointed out.
