Lashing out at the failure of the Government in coming to the rescue of the common man’s health, Telugu Desam Party chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu criticized the State Government for lack of proper medical care to the common man.
Addressing the party workers of Anantapur, Chittoor, Rangaredy and Guntur districts , the TDP chief came down heavily on the functioning of Government hospitals in the state. The shortage of staff and medicines in the Government hospitals are forcing the rural people to go to the private nursing homes which is a heavy burden.
Laying emphasis on Arogya Sri, Naidu said the Government was undermining the value of Government hospitals. The Government was not concerned about the hygienic conditions in the municipalities. Due to unhygienic condition many diseases like dengue and malaria are spreading. Citing the slums in the outskirts of Hyderabad, he said slums in the capital city are in a pathetic condition.
``Whether we are in power or in the opposition we are always concerned about the problems of the people and we will take up this issue in a serious way,’’ the former chief observed.
Today the party founder NTR and myself acquired world recognition is because of the contribution made by the party workers, he said.
Referring to the comments of a few party workers that sincere work has no recognition in the organisation, the TDP chief explained, ``we will reward the workers who have done tireless service to the party. Soon we will felicitate genuine workers who strove for the welfare of the party with laurels and awards.''
