PM ought to give up if he can’t deal with Covid disaster: Mamata Banerjee

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday focused Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Covid-19 scenario within the nation, terming it a “Modi-made disaster” and known as for his resignation.
“The second wave of Covid in our country is more intense. But there is a shortage of medicines and oxygen. Vaccines are being shipped to other countries despite a serious scarcity in our country. I say this is a Modi-made disaster. Modi Babu will have to take responsibility for why medicines to treat Covid-19 are not available in the market… If you can not handle the situation, you should quit and give up with the chair,” Banerjee stated at a rally in Dakshin Dinajpur district.
Earlier within the day, she questioned the disparity in pricing of Covishield vaccine for the states.

The BJP hit again on the CM for holding the Centre chargeable for the current disaster. “The Prime Minister has ensured that anyone above the age of 18 gets the vaccine. Instead of cooperating with the Centre, Mamata Banerjee is busy playing a politics of blame game,” BJP spokesperson Samik Bhattacharya stated.
