Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat has said it is most unfortunate that the irresponsible attitude of BJP government at the Centre has resulted in total chaos with regards to Covid pandemic handling & management in the country.
He said the Covid situation would have been different today if the BJP government had listened to the voice and valuable suggestions of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Kamat made a fervent plea to the State government to show sensitivity towards people, stop organising Utsavs to grab political mileage and work on effective Covid vaccination programme taking all into confidence and work on revival of economy before it’s too late.
“Our leader Rahul Gandhi had warned the government on February 12, 2020, almost 41 days before India was shut down. He had categorically stated that Coronavirus is an extremely serious threat to our people and our economy. He had demanded timely action and gone on record saying that the government is not taking the threat seriously,” Kamat said, adding that the BJP government had ignored his concern and went on into a festive mode organising “Taali Bajav, Thali Bajav, Diya Jalav” events pushing the people into Covid pandemic.
He said Rahul Gandhi’s latest demand to the Prime Minister to give approvals to other Covid vaccines was ridiculed by Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad. “Fortunately better sense prevailed and Modi government listened to Rahul Gandhi’s voice and gave approval to Russian vaccine Sputnik V for emergency use in India,” he said.
, while demanding that the BJP government must come out of the celebration mode and accept seven demands made by Rahul Gandhi in his letter to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 9th April 2021.
