AFTER the PM Modi’s speech on 14 April, CPIML General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya has said that this was yet another Modi address with only calls and appeals for the people to follow, false claims about adopting a 'holistic and integrated approach', but only silence about if and what the government will do to ensure food, ration and subsistence allowance for all!
The PM congratulated himself for his govt's 'timely' response to the Covid-19 challenge. The first time he mentioned Covid was on 18 March and the lockdown was announced a full week later after the BJP grabbed power in MP. Today MP and India are paying the price. #PMDoesNotCare

This is what happens when you don't care to plan in advance, don't communicate properly and don't take the people into confidence. Thousands of migrant workers have gathered at Bandra station demanding to be taken back to their homes. #PMDoesNotCare https://t.co/Aud4KyURd6

Modi claims screening of passengers from Covid-affected countries began in India even before the first case was recorded. And by 100 cases, all foreign passengers were being isolated for two weeks. Will he care to explain the whole Nizamuddin Markaz story then? #PMDoesNotCare
