Love him or hate him, following @narendramodi's life can be instructive. He personifies the adage "if you do you're damned, if you don't you're damned". Before, March 22nd eminent opposition leaders said they would be "disappointed" if he doesn't order a countrywide #lockdown 2/n

2/n once he declared #lockdown it was said he did it in a hurry #Covid19 rates in India didn't warrant a national clampdown. Then came the new line "we must learn to live with Covid" can't keep the economy fast. Now, one is beginning to hear - #lockdown being lifted in haste. 3/n

3/3 We're on the verge of (or already entered) #CommunitySpread) and government risking lives of citizens succumbing under pressure from business lobby. First, why no planning for migrants to return; Now, why were they allowed to go? Who will bring them back. The list is endless.
