Telangana Rashtra Samiti president K Chandrasekhar Rao has been shifted from a government hospital in Khammam to Hyderabad's Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences, after his daughter Kavita appealed to the state Human Rights Commission.
His son, K T Rama Rao, an MLA and TRS leader, too had demanded that Raobe shifted saying: "All the doctors and other officials of theadministration in Khammam are from the Andhra region and thereforethere is a threat to KCR's life here. So we want him to be shifted fromKhammam to Hyderabad or Warangal."
The TRS chief's fast over his demand for a separate Telangana state triggered protests across Telangana region in Karimnagar. Hundreds of TRS workers staged protests, while there were demonstrations too outside the Khammam hospital.
