Rao further said, "We are asking pointed questions to CM KCR - Why are you not testing more in the state from day one? Why are you restricting the testing practices and testing centres in the state? Why are you limiting the treatment for COVID patients only in one hospital which is Gandhi Hospital. Why are you risking the lives of the people of the state when the infection is so high."

"We have already demanded the resignation of state Health Minister Eatala Rajendra. It has to be done right away," he added. (ANI)
