"People need not panic. It is safe to eat a chicken after heating it for 20 minutes or 70 degree centigrade," Ramadoss said. - By reading this, one can easily understand the knowledge and intellectual level of our ministers. It is alright to have chicken after heating chicken upto 70 degree but does our minister heat chicken directly. is it not required to clean, apply masala and do other stuff before putting it for heating. Has he ever thought anything like this? You need to clean chicken so there is very high chance that you will come in contact with contaminated blood of chicken. Please dont listen to our govt statements. Apply your mind and act.
