BRS Pressures Telangana Over Stalled TIMS Works as Congress Pledges Probe, December Opening

The dispute over halted health projects is doubling as election messaging before local body polls.

Overview

  • Harish Rao led BRS legislators to the LB Nagar TIMS site on October 4, alleging a 22‑month standstill from unpaid bills and warning of public anger if work does not restart.
  • BRS leaders said delays span four planned TIMS hospitals and Warangal Health City, with medical colleges at Maheshwaram and Quthbullapur cancelled or merged.
  • The opposition also pointed to six months of unpaid salaries at Basti Dawakhanas, Rs 1,400 crore in pending Aarogyasri dues, and a halt to the Kanti Velugu eye initiative.
  • Congress figures rejected the accusations, argued BRS left projects incomplete, ordered an inquiry into estimate irregularities, and said Sanathnagar TIMS will open to the public in December.
  • BRS coupled the site visit with political mobilization, welcoming BJP and Congress workers into the party and voicing confidence about upcoming ZPTC and MPTC contests.
