Vijayawada, Oct 8 (UNI) Telugu Desam Party National President and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday stressed the need for the Andhra Pradesh Government to make more serious efforts in order to save the people from the impending second wave of Coronavirus epidemic.
Mr. Naidu termed it as unfortunate that while Prime Minister Narendra Modi was raising awareness on physical distancing and mask-wearing, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was not talking at all on preventive measures. “On the other hand, the AP Government was more interested in reopening the schools, theatres and liquor shops regardless of the threat of infections”, Mr.Naidu pointed out.
The TDP chief said that the Government should give equal emphasis to the fight against the deadly virus along with the economy revival measures. “It should be noted that AP has stood number 2 in the number of infections in the country and number 1 in virus cases per lakh population”, he said.
