Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s husband and noted economist Perkala Prabhakar strongly criticized the Modi government and said that this government is doing headline management instead of condolences.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s husband and economist Perkala Prabhakar expressed displeasure and fiercely criticized the Modi government over the Corona crisis. He said that instead of helping the people, the government is engaged in headline management and patting itself on the back. He was speaking during an event on his YouTube channel. He praised former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, saying that his suggestion was constructive but the Union Minister reacted very rudely to it and tried to make it political.
He said, ‘Corona infection in India is the fastest growing in the world. Deaths are breaking records. This is a state of health emergency. It is time to test the central government’s preparedness and their accountability. They find the death of their loved ones painful and the death of others is a mere figure.
‘Real data not being offered’,
economist Prabhakar said, because of this crisis people are losing their jobs. Deposits are also going away in getting treatment. Most people are not able to recover from the financial loss. Since the outbreak of the epidemic has started, about 1.80 lakh people have died in the country. He said that the actual figures are not being presented. This figure is much lower than the actual situation.
“Politicians are not making a difference”
He said that continuous testing is also decreasing and the pace of vaccination is very low. Hospitals and labs are not taking samples only. There is so much pressure on hospitals that they are not able to report on time. He also said that 3.56 lakh Tests took place on Sunday, which is 2.1 lakh less than a day ago. There are queues in the crematoriums, there is clashes for beds but lice are not crawling on the ears of any politician or religious leader.
About the rallies,
Latra Parkala Prabhakar said that it was seen on TV how the Chief Minister and the Prime Minister were rallying. Gathering crowds. Kumbh Mela is going on. He regains consciousness after the situation worsens. The extent is when some experts and others start to justify this crowd. They also argue that our situation is better than other countries. It is very shocking to hear this.
He said that according to the report, the epidemic is not going to stop. In such a situation, at least 140 million dose vaccine is needed. The clap and thali was being played at a time that should have been used to improve hospitals and infrastructure. Instead of providing help to the people, the government is doing headlines management. The Union Health Minister had said that the capacity of hospitals in 9 states has decreased. This is why rows of ambulances are visible today.
Targeting PM Modi,
he said that silence will not last long in front of the country. Humanity, transparency and accountability are sustainable. The Prime Minister should choose the right conduct now. The government does not want to answer every disturbing question. Former PM Manmohan Singh had given a good suggestion but the minister reacted in a rude manner. An attempt was made to do politics on this.
