Has any state completely wiped out corona, KTR asks opposition

Hyderabad: Dismissing allegations levelled by opposition parties that the TRS government failed in controlling Covid 19 cases in the state, municipal minister KT Rama Rao on Monday asked the parties to tell which state in the country had completely wiped out coronavirus.

“If rising number of Covid-19 cases is failure of KCR and the TRS government, India stands third in the world in the number of cases.

Can we say it is the failure of Modi-led BJP government at the Centre?,” he questioned. The minister, who participated in various developmental programmes in Mahbubnagar along with ministers Eatala Rajender and V Srinivas Goud, said it was not the right to time to make allegations against the government and demoralise doctors, who were risking their lives while treating patients.

Reacting on low testing allegations, he said Covid-19 tests were being conducted in the state as per the ICMR guidelines. “Ninety-eight per cent patients are recovering and less than two per cent are succumbing to the infection,” he said.

KTR said some private hospitals were hesitating and rejecting treatment to patients, but government doctors were treating them without any fear.

KTR said that if the rising cases in here are a failure of TRS government, then India’s standing as the third-most affected country is Modi-led governments’s failure
