They vociferously demanded that the government ‘administer vaccines and save lives’ in accordance with the call given by Naidu.

TDP AP president K Atchannaidu, former ministers Ch Ayyanna Patrudu, Nakka Anand Babu, KS Jawahar, K Kala Venkata Rao and other leaders participated in the online protests.The TDP leaders advised Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to stop political victimisation of the opposition leaders and start procuring adequate vaccines to rescue people. 

The State government should initiate immediate efforts to administer vaccines to all those above 18 years in order to save them from the deadly second wave infections. Universal vaccination is  the only solution to prevent heavy loss of human lives, the TDP said.  The TDP leaders deplored that the present rulers were not ready to spend on the vaccination.
