Andhra Pradesh Home Minister Chinarajappa came down with all guns blazing on AP Health Minister Kamineni Srinivas a while ago. HM Chinarajappa who went for the Foundation Stone laying ceremony for the construction of Samalkota Government Hospital Compound wall grilled the DMH about the functioning of the hospital, and the complaints that he has been receiving.
The Home Minister warned the DMH of a possible suspension if he receives another complaint about the hospital. Things did not stop there. Instead, they took a fierce turn, after the HM decided to ring up the AP Health Minister Kamineni Srinivas, putting the call on speaker.
‘Why are the funds been not realized despite repeated requests from my end? If this is how the government is a function, how can I even answer to the people who have elected us? This clearly shows how irresponsible are you (Kamineni) and your department (Health Ministry) towards the Samalkota Government Hospital,’ said Home Minister Chinarajappa on the call.
The video pertaining to the incident has gone viral on social media. HM Chinarajappa belongs TDP, while Health Minister Kamineni is from BJP. This is the first time an MLA has been condemned by the Home Minister in public. Is this a strategical move by Chandrababu? No one knows!
