Minister for Finance and Civil Supplies Eatala Rajender said the Congress party leaders, who were desperate after losing power, were raising a hue and cry over every small issue.
Ridiculing the former MP, Ponnam Prabhakar, for not protesting demanding the sanction of a government medical college in Karimnagar when in power, he reiterated that the State government was committed to fulfilling the promise of sanctioning government medical colleges in all the erstwhile districts of the State.
Talking to newsmen here on Friday, the Minister said the then Chief Minister, N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, had deputed an MCI team to inspect the Karimnagar town for the sanction of the government medical college in 2013. He asked the former MP why he had not protested when the Congress government had failed to sanction the medical college. He said the people of the town would teach a fitting lesson to the Congress leaders for misleading them on the medical college issue, and added that the State government was taking all measures to upgrade the existing government headquarters’ hospital into a super speciality one.
ZP Chairperson Tula Uma, legislator Gangula Kamalakar, Mayor S. Ravinder Singh and others were also present.
