On Tuesday, along with Minister Jagadish Reddy, he inaugurated a Dialysis Centre at Choutuppal of Munugodu constituency in Yadadri - Bhongir District.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister mentioned that dialysis centres are God's gift to kidney patients. Seeing the treatment given by the Telangana government to kidney patients, CM Stalin also initiated setting up of dialysis centres in Tamil Nadu, he stressed.
He said that Telangana is the only state which provides bus passes and Aasara pensions to kidney patients.
