Kolkata: Coronavirus cases have surged all across India, overwhelming the country's medical infrastructure. Political parties have repeatedly questioned the role of the centre in controlling the coronavirus situation. Recently, the Modi government has come under sharp criticism by the international medical journal 'The Lancet' over the Corona situation in the country.
In an editorial, The Lancet attacked the Modi government saying that the government is more interested in deleting tweets than in dealing with the pandemic in the country.
TMC leader and member of Parliament Mahua Moitra also took to Twitter to attack the Modi government over the Lancet editorial.
" 'A self-inflicted national catastrophe' says international medical journal The Lancet Take a bow, Modiji And no- it doesn’t matter that Baba Ramdev thinks you are doing a great job," she wrote on Twitter.
