-Poor father carried son’s dead body on bike for 90 kms
-No Govt ambulance provided by officials
-No respect for the dead under Jagan regime
-YCP rule crushed Maha Prasthanam services
AMARAVATI: TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh on Tuesday held Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s negligence responsible for the total collapse of services at the Government General Hospitals across the State.
Lokesh said while the people were yet to come to terms with the ghastly gang-rape at the Vijayawada GGH, another inhuman incident came to light at the Tirupati Ruia Hospital. A father had to carry the body of his son on a motorcycle for over 90 kms to his native village Chitvel in Rajampet district.
In a statement here, Lokesh said Jesava passed away while receiving treatment for his ill health at Ruia hospital. His father pleaded with the officials to provide a Government ambulance but nobody helped him. The private ambulance operators demanded huge amounts and tried to take advantage of the plight of the poor father.
Nara Lokesh deplored that left with no choice, Jesava’s father carried the body of his son on the back seat of a bike. He had to resort to this only because he could not afford to pay the hefty amounts demanded by the private operators. This one incident was enough to say how there was no respect even for the dead under the YSRCP rule.
The TDP MLC asserted that the exploitation by private ambulances had increased only after the Jagan Reddy Government neglected and crushed the Maha Prasthanam services. The previous TDP Government introduced the Maha Prasthanam vehicle services to carry the mortal remains of deceased persons to give them a decent last journey.
Condemning the YCP regime’s ‘attitude’, Lokesh said it was high time that the Chief Minister should wake up from his slumber and take corrective measures before the situation would slip out of control. The common public were not able to lead a decent living while even the dead were also not getting a decent burial under the YCP rule.
Nara Lokesh termed it as a shame to the State that all sorts of inhuman and ghastly incidents were taking place at the Government hospitals in the past three years. The very sections that helped in giving a massive victory for Jagan Reddy in 2019 were now suffering greatly.
Lokesh strongly criticised the Chief Minister for making it a policy to make huge promises and then to betray each and everyone in the State. The politics of oppression and betrayal would no longer work. Jagan Reddy would not be able to permanently rule the State from behind the barbed wires, sitting in his Tadepalli palace.
