Ground Report | New Delhi: Former Congress President and Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi fiercely criticized the Modi government at the Center on Tuesday in a Zoom press conference on Covid-19. Rahul said that people will not be saved by shedding tears of the Prime Minister. Rahul said, “If everyone knows the family, then if their family members died, there was no Prime Minister there. The Prime Minister’s tears had not saved him. The Prime Minister did not take the need for oxygen seriously. The prime minister’s priority then was elections but people were dying.

Rahul Gandhi said that in private hospitals, vaccines are being administered with money, but in other countries of the world, vaccines are being administered without money. Rahul said that the whole world has seen the result of the Prime Minister’s marketing. The Congress leader said that there is no point in hurrying to declare victory in the war against Covid.

Rahul said, “I have been saying for the last one and a half years that Covid will cause great harm to the country. Not only was I warning the government about Covid, but many people were doing it. The delay in the second dose of the vaccine is a political reason. There is a shortage of vaccines, so it is being delayed. The Prime Minister has to understand that this is not a political fight. This is the fight against the virus and the whole of India is standing together.

Rahul Gandhi said, “The results of the vaccine should be checked and if it is not right then it should be changed. The central government is taking tax from the people and if people are in need today, they are raising their hands. Those who have lost their families need help (Rahul Gandhi Modi).

On the question of the situation of confusion among Muslims and women regarding the vaccine, Rahul Gandhi said that it can be easily corrected if explained to them clearly. Rahul said that awareness campaign should be run.” A question was asked to Rahul in this press conference that there are many misconceptions among Muslims and women regarding the vaccine.

Rahul Gandhi said, “When the third wave of Corona comes, there should be no problems of the second wave so that thousands of lives can be saved. The government should not see any state as a BJP and Congress-ruled state in the fight against Covid.” If the virus mutates, it will not see it.
