New Delhi: As the election campaign in Assam, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu picks up pace, competing parties, cutting across political lines, are throwing Covid-19 safety protocols to the wind.
This amid a surge in coronavirus cases across the country. The country recorded 47,005 new cases Sunday, the highest single-day increase since 11 November last year, taking the total number of active cases to 3,45,122.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had last week held a video conference with chief ministers and warned that if safety norms are not followed, “then a condition for a nationwide outbreak may emerge”.
He has also been advocating a ‘dawai bhi, kadai bhi (following strict protocols along with vaccination)’ policy to buck the surge.
But Modi’s own rallies have been flouting the norms. Take the prime minister’s rallies in West Bengal and Assam on 20 March. At both places, huge crowds thronged the venue with little social distancing, and a majority not sporting masks.
