The second wave of Covid had taken lives of many people  and for every half an hour, new patients tally was on the rise. Health ministry and government have been busy forwarding the grim tally. Shortage of oxygen and sleeping beds is a major problem due to which deaths are increasing. It is a total failure of the government and authorities.

Many donors have donated crores of rupees to fight Corona, but this money has been used for  party publicity  which means that these leaders have been indulging in politics of the dead.
