New Delhi: As India battles a ferocious second wave of Coronavirus, the country’s healthcare infrastructure is left overburdened with people scrambling for hospital beds and oxygen cylinders. In the midst of this health crisis, many on social media are questioning the government’s handling of the current situation, while others have criticised the ruling government of holding election rallies and Kumbh mela when people are dying daily in record numbers.

On Sunday night, senior journalist Shekhar Gupta too took to Twitter to call out the government’s response to the virus, and wrote, ”As a child of the sixties, I’ve seen every crisis, incl 3 full wars, food shortages, calamities. This is our biggest post-Partition crisis & never has India seen a Govt missing in action like this. No control rooms to call, nobody accountable to reach. It’s a governance rout.”

Responding to his tweet, actor Anupam Kher defended the government and wrote, ”Respected Shekhar Gupta!! This is too much, even by your standards. Corona is a problem for the entire world. We’ve never faced this pandemic before. It’s important to criticise the government but it’s our responsibility to handle this. Don’t worry. Modi will come back! Jai ho!).
