No misunderstanding between me and Sriramulu, tweets Sudhakar

Bengaluru: After speculation was rife that Health Minister Sriramulu and Medical Education Minister Sudhakar, who has been tasked with COVID-19 matters, do not see eye to eye, the education minister on Saturday, April 4 clarified that all is well between them.

Taking to Twitter Sudhakar wrote, “We are not small kids to fight during such a serious situation. We have our own responsibility to stop the spread of COVID-19 and both are busy with it. Our political rivals are simply creating a rumour that I and Sriramulu engaged in a cold war.”

He further added, “I and Sriramulu are like brothers we both share a very good relationship with each other. We both are working hand in hand to fight COVID-19.”

Earlier on Friday, April 3 reports emerged that COVID-19 fight had been hit by lack of coordination between health minister B Sriramulu and medical education minister K Sudhakar and therefore the government fielded primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar was appointed as pointsman to brief the media about the pandemic update.
