1 Bn Jabs & COVID Horrors: How Modi Govt Claims Credit but Not Responsibility
It’s important that we don’t forget the millions who suffered due to the BJP government’s COVID-19 mismanagement.Should We Forget the Horrors of the First & Second Waves?

Before we give credit to a credit-obsessed government, should we forget that this data could have been much better had we not exported 66.3 million doses between 21 January & 16 April 2021? Or that the first order for vaccines was placed by the government as late as January 2021?

Before that, the Prime Minister was patting his own back at the World Economic Forum for having defeated COVID-19. Should we forget how the unmasked Prime Minister gloated looking at the crowd in his West Bengal rallies?

Should we forget phase 1 of COVID-19, where millions of displaced fellow Indians were left to their own devices — walking 1000's of kilometres, braving all odds.
Should we forget d desperation, helplessness and deaths suffered by millions of Indians, in d 2nd wave of COVID-19?

In terms of the number of deaths due to COVID-19, India stands at number three out of 221 countries, where COVID-19 deaths are being tracked.
Here, we r definitely not taking into account those who died without d documentation of hospitals, crematoria or municipality Panchayats.

This definitely does not include d many bodies left abandoned in rivers & on d roadside, bodies dat made global headlines but against which dis govt brazenly tried to invoke nationalism to attack anyone who dared 2 show d truth. Shd we forget all this & give credit to the govt?
