Telangana: Govt Doctor abused, transferred over not receiving MLA
Kushaiguda: A government doctor based at the Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Kushaiguda was recently transferred over not receiving a local MLA of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) at the PHC's gate.
The incident allegedly took place on August 19 when the MLA identified as Bethu Subash Reddy came to the PHC and the doctor was not able to receive him as he was treating some patients. Following that, the MLA and his associates created problems at the PHC over the issue and further abused the doctor for not receiving the MLA.

The doctor has, however, alleged that he was treating patients when the MLA came and he called the transfer an act of revenge. During that time, the MLA allegedly called senior officials in front of the medical officers and demanded that the doctor should be disbarred or transferred.
A week after the incident, the doctor was transferred from Kushaiguda to Muduchintalapalli. The doctor told India Today, "After I attended to my patients, I went to the MLA to greet him. He started screaming at me." He added, "The MLA kept abusing me and scolding me for disrespecting him. Even though I was trying to explain that I was with patients that needed attention, he did not understand."
