These incidents are majorly happening in Gandhi hospital. Chief Minister, is it not visible to you?” 

He also added, “Wherever you are, come out and yourself examine the situation and how Telangana is getting affected by this deadly virus without any medication. Check the government hospital and get to know how many patients are getting treated and see how doctors are ill-treated and patients are dying.”
