Andhra Pradesh Irrigation Minister P l Kumar slammed opposition TDP leaders, including party chief N Chandrababu Naidu, alleging that they are misleading the people of the state about the steps it has taken to contain coronavirus.

The YSRCP minister was referring to TDP's allegations blaming the state government for the relatively increased number of red zone districts in Andhra Pradesh when compared to the country average.

"The government is taking all the measures to control coronavirus pandemic. There is no need to pc since the recent tested cases have already been in isolation and quarantine, they are not in public. The state government has identified all the red zones, orange and green zones. We hope that the cases come down," he added.
