MUMBAI: The ruling Shiv Sena slammed the Centre and Election Commission for the surge in cases in the country. Sena on Saturday said that the virus spread across the country more rapidly from states, where polls were recently held or are still underway.
“China might have been responsible for the outbreak of the pandemic in India, but for the second wave of coronavirus, Election Commission and the Centre are responsible. The virus spread 500 times more speedily to the rest of the country from states where polls were either held recently or are underway,” Sena said in party mouthpiece Saamana.
Had the Centre reduced its “dose of politics” and focused on tackling the pandemic, the situation would have been in control, it said. There is a shortage of oxygen, Remdesivir, ventilators… Crematoriums are overflowing, but the central government is busy in electioneering in West Bengal, said the editorial.
