Battle against Covid-19, not Opposition: Rahul Gandhi asks Modi govt to realise
New Delhi/IBNS: Cornering the Centre over its alleged Covid-19 mismanagement, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the Narendra Modi government must realise the battle was against the virus and not against the opposition parties.
Rahul tweeted, "The Modi government must realise that the battle is against Covid, it is not against the Congress or other political opponents.”

The Centre and the states are at the loggerheads over the second wave of Covid-19 which has led the country's poor health infrastructure to get overwhelmed, leading various infected patients to die due to shortage of Oxygen supplies.
Earlier in April, various states including Covid-19 hotspot Maharashtra complained of Oxygen shortage, blaming the Centre for not responding.
Later, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had in a meeting urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure free supply of Oxygen from other states to the national capital.
Opposition leaders including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee have hit out at the central government over the higher prices of Covid-19 vaccines for the states to buy than the Centre.
However, Modi a day ago has appealed to the vaccine manufacturers to reduce the cost of vaccines for the states.
