> 7. He talks about Narendra modi rallies. Seriously ? He took rallies in the states where elections being conducted by Indian election commission, like all all other political parties he has to support his party. This is saying like Biden cannot take election rally while Trump goes on giving daily speeches. Importantly, do you see the state of Westbengal where election allies happened in the top ?

Yes he was not the only one conducting mass rallies but as the leader of the nation, was it not his responsibility to set an example in the country's fight against covid? Should we not hold the Prime Minister to a higher standard? Yes, every party held mass rallies and shame on all of them - it does not excuse Modi though.

He has a termendous fan following in India ready to do what he says (lighting lamps, clanging vessels) - he just does seem to be able to channel that devotion into something positive.
