    Now corona is peaking in India. All the measures taken so far were not of use. Now is the key.

    How the administration functions will hold the outcome. May almighty bless all Indians and prevent any major disaster.

    Lock down is a delaying mechanism .. But there are people in bhendi bazar mumbai ..shopping amd roaming around freely as if nothing has happened ..This shows the inherent political weakness of the maharashtra govt ..not that other BJP states or communist states are better ..But they have done their best .. But Maharastra has one of most indecisive political atmosphere due its current coalition .He is unable to talk tough against those who break law and lock down ..

    Rahul Gandhi said lockdown is just a pause button. He was right the govt should have increased the testing during lockdown.

    Why did nt rahul gandhi give testing kits ..? Instead of playing politics with Migrants ?
    While the central govt did well while bringing in passengers from abroad and setting proper procedures for Quaratnine ..It failed on the ground due to Tabligis moving around and spreading this virus ..
    I wont be surprised if its a ploy hand glove with the congress party to undermine the efforts of the modi govt.

    We can't tell to ppl when their heads are filled with cowdung. Whatever is told only one person is doing correct, rest everyone are nuts.
    First these ppl have to experience the pain then only they will come out of their nutshell.

    Please understand the suitation and react correctly. Don't blindly fall to the prey.
