Political war of words over COVID crisis, supply of medical oxygen to worst affected Maharashtra

  • 3 years ago
As India recorded the highest single-day COVID-19 cases and deaths, a political feud broke out on Saturday over the Centre's handling of the grave health crisis and on the issue of supply of medical oxygen and antiviral drug Remdesivir to the worst affected state of Maharashtra.

The BJP and the Shiv Sena traded charges of playing politics over the COVID situation even as the Congress Working Committee(CWC), the highest decision making body of the party, accused the Centre of "colossal mismanagement" in the war against pandemic and warned of an "unprecedented catastrophe" unless urgent corrective measures are taken.
