BJP Leaders Protest for Completion of Hospital in Ieej
District BJP leaders staged a one-day protest at the Ieej Primary Health Center, demanding the immediate completion of a long-pending 30-bed hospital. The protest was led by BJP mandal president Gopalakrishna. BJP district president S. Ramachandra Reddy also visited the protest site to show his support.
Speaking at the event, Ramachandra Reddy criticized the delay in the hospital’s construction, which has been pending for the past two to three years. He stressed the urgent need to complete the hospital to ensure the availability of specialist doctors, such as gynaecologists and paediatricians. He pointed out that many pregnant women in Ieej rely on the hospital for medical care.
He also demanded that the hospital be well-equipped with medicines for all types of illnesses. Additionally, he insisted that doctors should be available 24/7 to treat patients at any time of the day or night. Since the Ieej Primary Health Center serves as a medical hub for three nearby mandals, he emphasized the importance of having doctors accessible at all times.
Ramachandra Reddy further stated that Ieej, with a population of 1.3 lakh people, deserves an upgrade to a 100-bed hospital. He accused previous governments of making false promises and criticized the current Congress government for neglecting key sectors like education, healthcare, and public welfare.
The BJP leaders also demanded that essential blood tests and diagnostic services be provided to all patients. They urged hospital staff to treat patients with respect and called for cleanliness in the hospital premises. Additionally, they requested proper drinking water facilities for patients and their attendants.
The protest received support from MRPS district former president Madiga. Several local BJP leaders, including Bhagat Reddy (town president), Lakshman Goud (town vice president), and others, also participated in the demonstration.
