Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee (JPCC) on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Central Government are completely responsible for increasing the number of Coronavirus infected patients in India.
Talking to media persons JPCC Chief cum Food and Civic Supplies Minister, Rameshwar Oraon said that due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's wrong policies the positive cases are increasing so drastically despite the total lockdown implemented across the Country. He said that had the Central Government taken steps in a systematic manner, the situation of chaos would not have arisen. A large number of migrant labourers were trapped in various places of the Country, he added.
JPCC Chief visited Lohardaga and reviewed the work being done in dealing with the Corona virus infection by meeting with the officials of the district administration. He took information about food distribution, health services, especially among the common people and migrant laborers. At the same time Oraon met with senior party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Dhiraj Prasad Sahu.
"The number of Corona virus infected patients is increasing continuously across the Country, including in Jharkhand, but the Central Government has shed all its responsibilities now and entrusted duties to the State Governments. People started talking about tension on the Pakistan and China border. An attempt has been started to divert attention from the original problems. In the last six years, the economy of the entire Country has become completely ruined by the policies of the Central Government, crores of people are unemployed, the poor do not have food grains to eat and the youths are not getting employment," said Oraon.
JPCC Spokesperson Lal Kishorenath Shahdeo said that those who talked about defeating the Coronavirus in 21 days till yesterday, now they are saying that they will have to live with the virus. He said that the way the number of positive cases are increasing in the Country at present, it is feared that soon India will leave America behind and become the world's largest hotspot center in near future.
Meanwhile, on the occasion of the 'Shraddh' of former party MLA and late senior leader Rajendra Prasad Singh, JPCC served food to the poor at the Hinoo Chowk in Ranchi and gave the final tribute to the leader. On this occasion Agriculture Minister, Badal, described Rajendra Prasad Singh as the messiah of the poor and workers. He said that Jharkhand had suffered irreparable damage due to the departure of a great personality untimely. Badal said that Singh has been an important contributor to his political life and he has been a big contributor in whatever he is at present.
The Minister further said that he got a big help from Singh in getting a ticket in his first Assembly election and after that in the election campaign.
