So you mean to say just because other parties are having elections, PM can dump his responsibilities as a PM and run without a mask into the rallies and have thousands of gatherings? Afaik Biden was against rallies and was quite vocal of that. Modi didn't even had a problem, he went smiling. When you talk about Khumb, you talk of it as it is a local event. The visitors to Kumbh are from nation wide. One person can easily infect 30 people and which can spread exponentially there. Yeah right they have a permit, but how strictly was it enforced, was the authenticity of reports validated? There were images of people in it without wearing masks. The truth is they let their guard down for elections and the style of current govt is PMO centric decision making, so it made matters worse in no time. I have yet to see a person like "Dr Fauci" in US appointed with sole responsibility to tackle the situation, and take the spotlight of decisions, questions and instructions rather than a person who "talks" one way thru a radio show and asks to bang plates and light candles to scare the virus away.
