Pattikonda, Nov 9,
2012: That the state Government doesn’t care a bit about the much sought after Arogya
Sri health scheme innovatively introduced and effectively implemented by YSR
has been exposed once again during the course of Sharmila’s Padayatra
today.
When Sharmila’s Maro
Praja Prasthanam on behalf of YSR Congress Party entered M.Agraharam near
Pattikonda in Kurnool district on 23rd day today, a 10-year old girl
by name Sai Lakshmi approached Sharmila and narrated her story.
The girl, who has a
hole in her heart situated abnormally on the right side, was advised a two-time
operation during the regime of YSR. When the distressed family approached the
health department officials and the issue came to the notice of YSR, he
immediately ordered sanction of Rs.5.75 lakh required for the double operation.
The first operation was
successfully over but the hapless girl couldn’t get through the second
operation till date due to non-release of funds by the Government even three years after the death of YSR.
The parents of the girl told Sharmila that their
daughter needed the second operation and they are going from pillar to post to
get the required funds released. “But no one is listening to our woes,” they
told Sharmila with tears rolling down their eyes.
Sharmila asked them to
repose confidence in the leadership of her brother and party president Y.S.
Jagan Mohan Reddy who will surely address all issues when the party attains
power.
