Bandi demands sacking of Health Minister over botched family planning operations
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: BJP state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday demanded the immediate sacking of health minister T. Harish Rao, and the suspension of Director of Public Health Dr G. Srinivasa Rao for the botched family planning operations in Ibrahimpatnam that led to the death of four women. Addressing a press conference, Sanjay said the death of the women shows how the TRS government and Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao did not care about the lives of the poor. “The Director of Public Health is in-charge of such operations,” Sanjay said, and added, “but the government put him in charge of the investigation. Sanjay alleged that the Director of Health, “who faces charges for many irregularities, and believes that he will be made an MLC or an MLA by the ruling party, is being protected because every month he delivers cuts from the money he makes to the CM and the health minister.” He added: “The CM cannot take any action against the health minister as the latter is his nephew.” The Chief Minister must sack Harish Rao and suspend Dr Srinivasa Rao immediately so people can hopefully regain some faith in the government.
