A medical team from Government General Hospital (GGH) in Rajamahendravaram examined Naidu in the jail and have prescribed some medicines.
Naidu's family members and TDP leaders have been expressing concern over his health condition as he is in jail for over a month. Naidu had recently complained that he was suffering from dehydration but the jail authorities allegedly did not take any action in this regard. Now, the TDP leader has got skin allergy due to the extreme weather conditions in Rajahmundry.

According to doctors, there are rashes on many parts of Naidu's arms, chest and chin. Jail in-charge supervisor Rajkumar said medical experts were called in after Naidu complained of allergy. He said that medicines prescribed by doctors will be given to Naidu. A health bulletin that was released in this connection stated that Naidu is healthy and there is no need to worry.
