Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp attack on the opposition in parliament today, accusing them of being responsible for the countrywide spread of Covid and the migrant crisis in the initial days.
"The Congress crossed the limit," he said. "During the first wave, when we had lockdown, when WHO was advising that 'stay wherever you are'... the Congress at the Mumbai railway station gave tickets to labours to go and spread coronavirus".
"You people pushed the labourers into difficulties," he asserted, pointing a finger at the opposition-ruled states, including national capital Delhi.
"In Delhi, the government used mics on jeeps in slums to go home, arranged buses," the Prime Minister said, adding that in Uttar Pradesh and other states "where corona didn't have this intensity, there also coronavirus spread due to this".
