Opposition leader and former AP CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu has lamented that Jaganmohan Reddy's inefficiency is why Andhra Pradesh has got too many red zones.

"84% of Andhra Pradesh’s districts have been designated as red zones by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Courtesy: YS Jaganmohan Reddy's incompetence, negligence and focus on politicking (read: elections, removal of SEC etc.) rather than public health. This is turning out to be a man-made disaster," the Kuppam MLA tweeted on Friday.

Naidu recently demanded that testing must be ramped up in AP, something the one lakh imported rapid test kits will ensure in the coming weeks and months.

Of late, the TDP chief has been in the news for hailing Narendra Modi's strategy with respect to COVID-19. Earlier this week, he described the BJP leader as a "statesman".
