New Delhi:
On Sunday, an inflexible Rahul Gandhi launched another attack against the government, accusing him of “institutionalized lies” and warning that “India will pay the price” for the mismanagement of the economy by the Narendra Modi administration, the COVID-19 pandemic and the border. -with China.
A staunch critic of the government, Gandhi has stepped up his tweets in the past few weeks and months, especially after the new coronavirus pandemic hit India.
The MP for Thiruvananthapuram then increased the frequency and vigor of his attacks last month, following the intrusion of China into Indian territory and the death of 20 Indian soldiers in Ladakh.
This morning, Mr. Gandhi tweeted: “The BJP has institutionalized lies. 1. Covid19 by limiting tests and misreporting of deaths. 2. GDP using a new calculation method. 3. Chinese aggression in scaring the media. The illusion will soon shatter and India will pay the price.
He also attached a Washington Post article, “As India soars over a million cases of coronavirus, a mystery surrounds the death toll.”
Gandhi has attacked the government in each of these three allegations in the recent past.
On Saturday, he warned that India would pay “government cowardice” for the impasse on China, suggesting that it was following an ill-advised policy of appeasement. This followed last month’s criticism of Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, in which he said the government was hiding behind “paid media”.
Gandhi clashed with Interior Minister Amit Shah last week, who said India was “in a good position” to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. A few days later, India has registered more than 10 lakh of COVID-19 cases and will likely cross 11 lakh by Tuesday.
Gandhi also criticized the government’s handling of the economic crisis triggered by the coronavirus epidemic and the foreclosure, stressing that the experts’ call to inject money into the hands of the poorest strata of the society – the most affected by the crisis – has remained a dead letter.
“So today you have a country that is in economic trouble, in terms of foreign policy, in trouble with its neighbors and that’s why the Chinese decided that maybe it was this time and that is why they acted, “he said yesterday.
