Andhra Pradesh: YSRCP MLA RK Roja has criticized Chandrababu Naidu for not helping the people in these disasters where the coronavirus is raging. While people are in trouble, it is not good to spew venom on the people like us who are relentlessly helping out the poor in this crisis of coronavirus.

She praised the Volunteer system brought by Jagan in Andhra Pradesh, which has become the tool to contain coronavirus today.

TDP is running for money ever since it has lost to YSRCP and making false allegations; the opposition leader is making spewing venom of government and is the dire need of publicity, " Roja said.
