Hyderabad: BRS MLA T Harish Rao met with Sritej, a victim of the Sandhya Theatre tragedy, during a visit to KIMS Hospital today and gave him an update on his health. “Sri Tej is recovering well and responding to medical treatment,” Rao said.

“The CM and minister commented on the Sandhya Theatre issue after 10 days in the assembly,” he said, alluding to the official response coming slowly.

Rao also made fun of the state administration, namely Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.

He accused them of neglecting tragedies that occurred inside their own jurisdiction and asked, “Why did Revanth Reddy and his cabinet not visit the families of the children who died in Gurukuls?”
