AP government rules out allegations over purchase of Rapid Testing Kits, warns of legal action
It is known that the Jagan Mohan Reddy government recently purchased one lakh Rapid Testing kits from South Korea as part of its fight against Corona.
It is known that the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government recently purchased one lakh Rapid Testing kits from South Korea as part of its fight against Corona. These kits could quickly detect the COVID-19 virus. The Jagan government has been accused of resorting to irregularities in the purchase of Rapid Testing kits. It was alleged in social media that Andhra Pradesh has bought the kits for Rs.1200 per each, which is much more than what Chhattisgarh is getting at Rs. 337.
However, the Andhra Pradesh government has dismissed the campaign. It is untrue that Andhra Pradesh has bought each kit for around Rs. 1200. The government said it has procured the kits at Rs. 700 per each and the final price is being negotiated. It also warned of Legal action against false propaganda.
