Chandrababu appealed to the Central government to look into the matter and 'expose the criminal motive behind the testing SMS testing racket'.
"From the beginning, the YSRCP Government has cheated people and the Centre regarding Covid testing numbers. This video from Anantapur Dist is proof of that. People who had not even given their samples have received SMS declaring them to be negative/positive," said Naidu in a tweet.
"Shocked that a Government can stoop to such level to cover their failures. 'One Million Covid tests' narrative woven by the AP Govt is either a sham/scam. I request the Centre to look into this immediately and expose the criminal motive behind the 'SMS Testing Racket' run by the Govt," he added. (ANI)
