West Bengal: Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for the rising COVID-19 cases in the country.
Speaking at a public rally in Barasat, Mamata said: “When COVID-19 happened, where were they? They were not seen for over a year. PM Modi and Home Minister were hiding in their homes. Because of your negligence, COVID-19 cases are rising in the country. The cases have risen due to your incompetence.”
“I have been asking for injections for three months. I wrote the letter in February. Why have you not given me? I want to give COVID injections for free to all. But we are not getting it. Whatever I have received, I will start distributing it from tomorrow,” she added.
India has been witnessing a significant spike in COVID-19 cases, with more than 1.6 lakh coronavirus reported on Monday.
Further lashing out at the Prime Minister for making public speeches on the polling day, the Chief Minister said that he is misleading and cheating the public.
Speaking on the deaths of five people in Sitalkuchi during the phase IV polls, the TMC chief said: “I say BJP got their own man murdered, they had to prove it, they did not. That is because Girindra Nath Barman, our candidate in Mathabhanga was attacked. Rajbongshis were outraged over this. You took the life of a Rajbongshi man and now are talking big.”Businessstarted.com
