New Delhi: As the COVID-19 spread spiraling day by day, Congress party accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being "negligent" and "callous" in tackling the pandemic in this country. The party also targeted Center for continuing the export of vaccines when India itself is facing a shortage, alleging that the Government is jeopardizing the lives of people of this nation.
While speaking over the matter, Congress Chief Spokesperson and General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala said, "The second wave of Corona is here and it is hitting the country hard. The numbers are scary. Modi Government has left the people to fend for themselves. It has utterly blundered despite having one full year to prepare in management, prevention and making appropriate infra arrangements to tackle Corona."

He further alleged, "PM Modi is negligent, callous and indifferent whenever it comes to management of covid-19 disease in this country Modi government has jeopardized and endangered the lives of millions of Indians by it's negligent conduct."
On Tuesday, India reported the highest ever one day spike with over 1.8 lakh COVID-19 cases and 1,027 deaths. India has reached to the position of second highest number of infections after United States.
"There is a national emergency happening but the Prime Minister is busy in public meetings instead of addressing the issues of vaccination, health infrastructure, medication, life saving drugs, oxygen availability. PM needs to follow his rajdharma and rise up to this occasion instead of following adversarial politics. There is no 'you versus me' debate here, there is only a 'us versus corona' debate in this country," Surjewala stated.
