Sonu tweeted, "One simple question: When everyone knows a particular injection is not available anywhere, why does every doctor recommends that injection only? When the hospitals cannot get that medicine then how will a common man get? Why can't v use a substitute of that medicine &save a life?"

Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) national secretary Sumit Agarwal tweeted, "Some medicines do NOT have an alternative. If you’re referring to Liposomal amphotericin B, it has no known alternative as of now. They can only prescribe what medical science has created for them. It is the system’s responsibility to ensure medicines are available not doctors’."

Recently, Sonu responded after the Twitter account of Ganjam district magistrate and collector had said that his foundation didn't contact them to arrange a bed for a person who was in need, adding that it took credit for the same. Sonu then provided WhatsApp conversation screenshots with a person who was looking for an oxygen bed.

Sonu, since last year has been providing aid to those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. In an interview in 2020, he had told SpotboyE, “I am not really going out of my way to justify my behaviour to people who doubt my intentions. To be negative is in their DNA. It’s not their fault. All these are trolls. They have no spine and they are only seeking attention.”
