Opposition Corners KCR Govt Over Low Testing As Covid-19 Cases In Telangana Rise

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) has come under attack for his remarks in the state assembly on strategies being adopted to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic. The attack came not only from his traditional political opponents, but from medical professionals as well as his party’s ally, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM).

A video by Dr P Vinay, son of former union minister P Shiv Shankar, a medical practitioner in surgical gastroenterology, in which he can be seen ridiculing the efforts of the KCR government in fighting the pandemic, has gone viral. It has also given ammunition to the Opposition parties.
