"CCMB,Central Biotechnologies have already made it clear that there is no danger with this strain," Sajjala said. He further criticised Chandrababu for spreading false propaganda and opined that Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has the strength to face whatever he does. He said it is not appropriate to act in such a way as to intimidate the people for criticising the government like this.

Talking about the steps being taken by the government for the containment of the corona, he said all the departments in the AP are working in coordination and CM is writing letters to the Center from time to time asking for vaccine doses.

If the center gives adequate doses, we will give it to everyone, " Sajjala said.
