Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 7 : Telangana Assembly and Council session resumed on Monday after a gap of over four months amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Rao said, "BJP feels that the government has failed to contain the spread of coronavirus in the state and many people have died due to government's negligence and their attitude towards dealing with coronavirus. High Court and other courts have also given a lot of directions to the Telangana government to follow the standard operating procedures amid COVID-19."
"But still the government has failed to provide facilities for poor people, bearing in mind the cost of treatment at private hospitals," Rao said.

The state police have made the necessary arrangements for these sessions.
