    Can we call this a foul play by #Telangana government! April 27 health bulletin claims the state has a total of 1003 #Covid19 cases. However, here is an official patient history from a government source regarding patient number 1029. Pls note, Patient ID P1029. @NewsMeter_In

    Hon’ble @PMOIndia Is this what “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”& Co-operative federalism means? Telangana has been reeling under heavy floods but not a single rupee granted under NDRF since 2018! Neither did you offer relief to 2020 Hyderabad floods nor to 2022 Godavari floods. Why?
