Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had not understood the severity of the Covid-19 crisis.
“It is not a common disease, it keeps on mutating,” the Congress leader said during a virtual press conference. “The more time you give it, the more dangerous it gets.” Gandhi said that no one understood the first wave of the pandemic “but the second wave is the prime minister’s responsibility”.
“It is a result of his theatrics and the lack of his responsibility,” Gandhi added, according to PTI. “It is time for the prime minister to be a leader and display leadership skills and show courage and not come out with excuses and blame others.”
