Daijiworld Media Network - Ballari (SP)

Ballari, Mar 27: "I have no differences whatsoever with the medical education minister, Dr Sudhakar. Dr Sudhakar, a doctor by profession, naturally has in-depth knowledge of the medical field. But because of deficiency in communication sometimes there would have been slight differences between statements issued by us," said state health minister, B Sriramulu.

Speaking to media persons here on Thursday, March 26, Sriramulu said that Sudhakar is like his brother. "We do not have any differences.

"It is true that the person from Chikkaballapur, before being diagnosed with coronavirus infection, was suffering from some other health complications. But I quoted from the laboratory report which diagnosed the person as coronavirus positive. I received the report first and therefore confirmed it. Perhaps he would have got it with some delay and therefore did not confirm it," he explained.

The minister said that both have been working together under the directions of the central government and chief minister, Yediyurappa. "We are working as a team against coronavirus," he asserted.
