Telangana Congress leaders today extended support to the protest of doctors and other medical staff of Chest and TB hospital at Erragadda, who are against the government’s move to shift the Chest hospital to Ananthagiri in Vikarabad mandal of Ranga Reddy district.
TPCC president Ponnala Laxmaiah, senior leaders Marri Shashidhar Reddy, Anjan Kumar Yadav, M S Prabhakar Rao, P. Vishnuvardhan Reddy and others visited the hospital on Tuesday. Earlier, Shashidhar Reddy, along with some of the party leaders submitted a representation to Governor Narasimhan on the issue. Ponnala said the Congress party did not accept the government’s proposal because it affects many people directly.
But, former minister and Greater Hyderabad Congress Committee president Danam Nagender did not accompany both the delegations. When mediapersons asked Shashidhar Reddy about the absence of Danam Nagendar, he informed that Danam was “not available”. But Danam denied it openly and asserted that he was available like all leader in the City except two leaders (Ponnala Laxmaiah and Shashidhar Reddy” and he did not like to mention the names of both the senior leaders.
