Many Congress members have questions how the Centre is handing the Covid crisis in India, especially after there was steep rise in Covid deaths during the second wave.
At a press conference earlier this month, party leader P Chidambaram said, “We have a strong suspicion that the Government of India, in conjunction with some state governments, is suppressing the true numbers of new infections and COVID-related deaths”.
“If our suspicions are true, this is a grave misdeed apart from being a national shame and a national tragedy,” he was quoted by PTI.
Earlier too Rahul Gandhi had tweeted targeting the government.
“Countless dead bodies flowing in rivers; lines in hospitals up to miles; the right to life security is taken away! PM, take off those pink goggles that lets you see nothing except for Central Vista,” he tweeted in Hind.
In the last few weeks, there have been reports of bodies floating in the river Ganga, over worked crematoriums being flooded with dead bodies flooded. Recently, several dead bodies are found buried on the banks of river Ganga in several districts of Uttar Pradesh while several of them were also seen floating in the river.
