The 1 million COVID test in AP is a 'SMS testing racket' : Naidu

Naidu alleged that Jagan led AP government is cheating the people and the center about the COVID-19 test results. Naidu was referring to a video of ward health secretary Susheela from Tadipatri constituency. She shares, "One Poornashankar, a computer operator, called me and asked me to select and send 7 members for a COVID-19 test, so we requested a few people in our area to take the test; after they had refused we asked our fellow colleagues in the Secretariat to get ready by 9 a.m. the next day to take the test. They accepted".

The ward member further added, " On the next day, my colleagues waited until noon as we did not receive a call from Poornashankar. Samples were not taken for the COVID-19 test. However, after a few days B.Teja, a colleague of mine, said that he had received a message on his mobile, from the petition monitor Cell of Ananthapuramu, stating that his COVID-19 test result was negative, this even though he did not give his sample for the COVID-19 test.”

Another victim of this racket Deva Prasad said, “I got a message from the government hospital which said that I had tested positive for COVID-19. I am surprised that I tested positive without giving my sample for testing”.

Mr. Naidu insinuated that there is a conspiracy behind falsifying the COVID-19 test results by Jagan’s government and requested the center to expose the criminal intent.
