As visible in the video, only two people in the gathering, which the MLA claimed was a private one and didn't break any guidelines, were wearing masks.
While in the hospital for Covid-19, he released a video in which he told his supporters, “I am Bahubali, and I will defeat coronavirus. There is nothing like coronavirus,. It is not so strong. Half of it has already been defeated and I will defeat the other half too. I will always be in your service.”
Talking to the publication, he said, “The video of me dancing in the temple is true. I do it every Saturday. I went there yesterday as I have been going over there for over 45 years….”
