Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government for their handling of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in India, claiming that neither Modi nor the government understands the viral disease that has claimed over 300,000 lives so far.
Addressing a virtual press conference on Friday, Gandhi said, “I, along with several other people warned the Centre over the Covid-19 pandemic multiple times. The Centre made fun of us. The Prime Minister declared victory against Covid-19. The problem here is neither the Prime Minister nor the Centre has understood the viral disease till now.”
