The BJP blamed the ruling Congress as Chhattisgarh reported the second largest number of active Covid-19 cases in the country after Maharashtra on Friday. The Congress hit back, saying this was no time to do politics.
Former Chief Minister and BJP stalwart Dr Raman Singh blamed the Congress government for laxity and accused it of not taking adequate steps to ensure treatment to the victims.
He said the situation was going out of control and there was a need for Central government intervention.
He also blamed the recently held Road Safety cricket matches for the spurt in Covid cases.
Responding, Congress Communication Department head Shailesh Nitin Trivedi such tweets were objectionable and will affect the morale of Corona warriors when government employees, police, doctors and health workers were doing their best to tackle the crisis.
He said that Covid-19 has no borders and the whole country is facing a second wave. The government machinery is doing its best to bring down the spread of the virus.
