BJP slams Telangana govt over dengue deaths

Hyderabad: The BJP on Saturday demanded an adjournment motion in the Legislative Council on the issue of increasing deaths due to dengue, malaria and other viral fevers.

BJP MLC Ramchander Rao in a letter to the the Secretary, Telangana Legislative Council, stated that the state government had failed in taking precautions like anti-larval measures, fogging, sanitation etc and also failed in providing necessary medical treatment to patients.

Cases of dengue are increasing everyday especially among children, Mr. Rao said.

It’s high time to take up the matter for discussion in the House, the senior party leader added.
