Actor-turned-politician Vijayashanti criticized the tours and inaugurations by CM KCR in various districts of Telangana on the same day when the unlock was announced. She said that unlock was announced without announcing any measures to curb the spread of the virus. She criticized KCR for holding mass meals with people in his adopted village. She said, for these programs, the corona reduced in Telangana and the unlock was announced. People are not fools they can understand, she said.
Vijayashanti said lockdowns were still going on in neighbouring states amid strict regulations and the covid Delta Plus variant was scaring people in neighbouring states like Maharashtra. She recalled that the lockdown was extended for another ten days in Tamil Nadu. The situation is almost the same in Karnataka, she said. Despite this, Vijayashanti criticized the rulers for being willing to risk public health for their self-benefit.
