Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], December 3 (ANI): The Congress 'hand' has stopped Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) 'car' in Telangana as the grand old party has comfortably reached the majority mark as per the latest trends of the Election Commission of India. The Congress is leading on 61 seats while the BRS on 36 and the BJP leading on 10, as per ECI. Telangana Congress President, Anumula <keyword id="933541" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="revanth-reddy" source="Orion">Revanth Reddy</keyword> is leading from the Kamareddy seat leaving CM KCR trailing behind. Revanth Reddy is MP in the Lok Sabha from INC representing Malkajgiri Constituency. Earlier, He was a two-time MLA in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly from TDP in 2009 and 2014 and in the Telangana Assembly between 2014 and 2018 representing Kodangal Constituency. He left TDP and joined Congress in 2017. In June 2021, he was appointed as president of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee replacing N. Uttam Kumar Reddy. Both Congress candidate Konda Surekha and Naini Rajender Reddy are leading from Warangal East and West seats. Telangana CM KCR is leading from the Gajwel seat. Since the formation of the State in the year 2014, BRS has been holding power with KCR as its chief minister. Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao (KTR) is leading from Sircilla, which is considered one of the most important seats. KTR fought from the same seat in the 2018 elections and won. Payal Shanker from BJP is leading on the Adilabad seat while Dhanpal Suryanarayana leading from Nizamabad (Urban). Jaffar Hussain from AIMIM is leading on the Yakutpura seat. Celebrations were seen outside the Congress office in Hyderabad over the party crossing the halfway mark comfortably. The party cadre chanted "Bye bye KCR". The Telangana election results will be important for the Congress as it heads into the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. A win in Karnataka and Telangana would further concrete its presence in the South. The Congress party, which is now in reckoning, was completely written off just six months ago. Several factors could have contributed to the Congress's upturn: Perceived anti-incumbency at the constituency level against BRS MLAs; energy infused by the Karnataka victory in the party leaders and cadres; the BJP's decline following the removal of Bandi Sanjay as the Telangana unit chief; and the perception that the BRS and AIMIM are in cahoots with the BJP. Congress leader <keyword id="41270" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="renuka-chowdhury" source="Orion">Renuka Chowdhury</keyword> said that Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) leaders are in touch with the grand old party. On being asked if BRS leaders are in touch with the Congress party, Renuka Chowdhury told "Of course! Today's politics is like that. They are in touch with us. Sometimes they take away ours (MLAs), and sometimes theirs come here." Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar who is in Telangana as an AICC observer on Sunday spoke about the possibility of MLA poaching and said that not even a single MLA or candidate will break. TPCC Vice President Kiran Kumar Chamala also spoke on the MLA poaching issue in Telangana and said that the party's MLAs will not be provoked. "It's not the trend what we see this morning, these are the waves and positive vibrations in Telangana. The 6 guarantees that <keyword id="689" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sonia-gandhi" source="Orion">Sonia Gandhi</keyword> has promised to the people of Telangana have turned the tide towards us. Poaching is one of the main agenda of KCR. We have taken some measurements. But after seeing the trends, we don't think it is needed. At least we'll have 80-plus seats. Our President Revanth Reddy is also leading. Everything is under control and our MLAs will not be provoked," the TPCC Vice President said. The fate of 2,290 candidates from 109 parties including the national and regional parties will be revealed as the counting proceeds. The contestants include 221 women and one transgender. A total of 103 legislators are re-contesting this time, most of them from the ruling BRS. A clear picture of the result is likely to emerge by noon. Telangana went to vote on November 30. In 2018, BRS (then Telangana Rashtra Samithi) won 88 of the 119 seats and had a 47.4 per cent vote share. The Congress came a distant second with 19 seats. (ANI)

Congress 'hand' stops BRS 'car' in Telangana, Revanth Reddy leads in Kamareddy seat as KCR trails

MUMBAI: A proposal in the Rajya Sabha to put a cap on doctors' fee has created uproar in the medical fraternity. The <keyword id="6365835" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Medical-Association">Indian Medical Association</keyword> (IMA) has already decided to go to the court, even as patient bodies and activists hail the move. 
 The proposal titled 'Regularization of Doctors' Fees' was put forward by <keyword id="1575" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Congress">Congress</keyword> leader <keyword id="41270" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Renuka-Chowdhury">Renuka Chowdhury</keyword>. It calls for formation of an expert committee to study the pattern of charging, classifying the kind of services offered by doctors, and putting a cap on the consultation charges accordingly. At present, doctors' fees can range from a few hundreds to a few thousands depending on seniority and specialty. 
 "Regularization of consultation charges has never been done for any professional. Why only doctors?" questioned IMA <keyword id="44284" type="POSITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Secretary">secretary</keyword> Dr Jayesh Lele. He said IMA has already taken legal advice and is prepared to go to the court, if the proposal is passed. "It is against the Constitution to fix remuneration of professionals," he added. 
 <keyword id="200423" type="POSITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="senior-physician">Senior physician</keyword> Dr Pratit Samdani, who practices in several south Mumbai hospitals, was of a similar view. "It is wrong to pin down a single profession when there is a general consensus that professionals such as doctors, lawyers, architects decide their own remuneration," said Samdani. "For example, when one goes to an A-grade restaurant, he or she is willing to pay 50 per cent more than a B-grade restaurant. Then why seclude only doctors?" he asked. 
 
The final draft of the Maharashtra Clinical Establishment Act, which was submitted to the government in June, has also done away with the most important clause of 'standardization of rates for patients'. According to health activist Abhay Shukla of the Jan Swasthya Abhiyan, the patients' groups and health activists had demanded the cap on the rates, while doctors' lobby had opposed it completely. 
 
 
 
 
"At the end, doctors had their way and the final draft did not have any clause on regularizing the rates," said Shukla, adding it was absolutely justified and possible to have standard rates. 
 
"Most western countries follow this pattern. Healthcare is a distress good and not a luxury good. Therefore, basic health services including the doctors' fees should have a cap," he added. 
 
Health activists were also of the view that if doctors followed a standard treatment protocol like the West, rate variation will not take place. "Standard treatment protocol will result in doing away with all unnecessary investigations, tests and medications that are commonly prescribed here," said Shukla.
