India has fallen prey to the deadly corona virus as the government took it casually on arrival.

1. India is badly hit by COVID-19 pandemic

The government and the Prime Minister awakened only after the number of COVID positive cases reach 3 lakh 20 thousand

2. The Prime Minister responded too late and too little

The inept handling by the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government has worsened the situation with unplanned lockdown and late response

As always, the down-trodden sections of the society have had to bear the brunt of it. Doctors, nurses, health workers, and police personnel too have had to suffer a lot since the country was not prepared for this tragedy.

5. The country has suffered as government had no strategy

When the government should have planned and prepared for the crisis , it kept lauding and boasting that the total number of casualties and infected person in India were less compared to rest of the world

Now when India goes on to win the wrong race of highest number of cases, the Prime Minister held meeting with his ministers and directed them to make preparations

The warning signals were there in February itself. A note of caution from Rahul Gandhi of the Congress on February 12 to this effect was dismissed by the government as an attempt to create unnecessary panic.

In Delhi, the situation is particularly dire with the Aam Aadmi Party government this week predicting the caseload will balloon 20-fold to more than half a million by the end of July, which the healthcare system appears woefully ill-prepared for.
