TRS chief’s health condition deteriorating: Collector

Hyderabad, December 01: The health condition of TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao is deteriorating due to his fast-unto-death but he is refusing medical treatment, a senior government official said tonight.

“Doctors, who came from Hyderabad, have examined him.

They said he needs medical treatment immediately. He has not taken any food today, but he is not cooperating. He is refusing treatment,” Khammam district collector Usha Rani told reporters at Khammam.

“He says he has been misunderstood over continuing the fast. We are trying to convince him. We are even ready to shift him to a super-specialty hospital,” she said.

The local court and the State Human Rights Commission have directed that Rao be provided treatment quickly, she said.

The collector called on Rao at the government hospital at Khammam where he is being treated.
