Akbaruddin Owaisi leaves House after K Chandrasekhar Rao’s barb

HYDERABAD: AIMIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi was involved in a verbal joust with chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on the statement made by the government on the pandemic. When KCR reacted sharply to his speech, Akbaruddin abruptly ended it and left the House.
During the discussion on Covid-19 cases, Akbaruddin said the government had issued the statement like a routine health bulletin which did not make no mention about health workers like doctors, nurses who have been working tirelessly risking their lives. “The government did not mention about donations to CMRF and PMRF by individuals, firms and NGOs. It is most unfortunate that the government did not talk about the impact of the pandemic on sectors like economy, industries, agriculture and other sectors,” he said.
While praising health minister Eatala Rajender for his hard work, he said the government blamed the Tablighis for the spread of the disease in the city. KCR interrupted Akbaruddin, saying the government did not give a detailed note on impact so as not to turn into a ‘Mahaharat’. “If the member wants, the government will provide information,” he said. On saluting Covid warriors, he said the government provided incentives to them.
