Shit it terrible here! The Central govt, that up until recently was sucking the Prime Minister's dick and saying how well he handled the pandemic is now putting all the blame on state govts and trying hard to manage the image of the PM while taking reactionary steps like opening oxygen plants to save some face. Meanwhile, more and more states are actively covering up the deaths due to COVID. Already many people are dying because they couldn't get a test result back in time or couldn't find an oxygen cylinder in time, and the administration is doing whatever it can to not count them as COVID deaths, in some cases even listing the cause of death as "due to illness". In one state, the chief minister is openly lying that there is no shortage of oxygen or beds in hospitals while threatening to arrest anyone complaining about these things by accusing them of spreading fake news. Not to mention the political blame game to deflect the attention from the PM and the central govt is pathetic.
SO many lives could've been saved if the govt actually cared about the citizens and their welfare, but this govt neglected it all and decided to spend the money on vanity projects and state elections, thereby worsening the scale of suffering and death. This is what a real 3rd world country looks and acts like. What's worse is that the propaganda is so strong that some people STILL refuse to blame the PM and the ruling party for it and try to absolve them even if they have very little reason to. This country is so fucked!
PS: Most of this reporting is happening from urban India. The situation is rural India is expected to be MUCH worse, with uneducated people not knowing what COVID even is to the terrible health infrastructure there, there are reports that people in villages are dropping dead like flies. Pray for us y'all. Really!
