PM Modi should resign for “mishandling” second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, demands CM Mamta Banerjee

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resignation for “mishandling” of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Mamata Banerjee alleged that the Prime Minister had failed in administrative planning to contain the infection.

The Trinamool Congress chief said, "For the rise in Covid-19 cases, PM Modi has to resign. He is the man responsible for the present situation.”

Mamata Banerjee further pointed out, "The BJP cannot tackle the Covid-19 spike even in Gujarat, and has brought the entire country, including West Bengal, to such a



pass."

"I will send a strong letter to the PM today on this issue. There is a shortage of oxygen and anti-viral drug Remdesivir in the entire country. Who is responsible for this? Had they given us the consent, we would have been able to vaccinate every resident of the state," she said.

Mamata Banerjee accused PM Modi of exporting vaccines to other countries to boost his image globally while there was a shortage of vaccines in his nation. She asserted that PM Modi did little to address the possible crisis in the supply of medical oxygen and vaccines in the five-six months before the second wave of the pandemic hit the nation.
