THE NEW MANTRA- POSITIVITY When all the nation's resources and collective might need to be employed to stop Covid related deaths, I am wondering if that is a stupid thought since the political atmosphere has never been so toxic and the BJP agenda is apparently more important! It is a global problem but we better solve it efficiently atmaniirbhar? When asked why Covid deaths are so high the answer is recovery rate is better, and why there is shortage of vaccines the answer is we have vaccinated more people faster than anywhere in the world! The BJP spokesperson accused the anchor of not thinking positive. I wonder if the BJP and our PM will note the anchor's stinging reply after no question was directly or satisfactorly answered "We are not talking positive or negative thinking, but reality ". They do not want to talk about facts or accountability but are so touchy about their image! A minister in Singapore reportedly makes a statement about the virus strain there being dangerous for children. The CM Delhi concerned about our children warns about it entering India, and reportedly Singapore is as concerned about its image. Instead of the PM of India picking up the phone and having a word with Kejriwal and PM Singapore, the matter is blown out of proportion with the External affairs minister sharply disgracing a CM, who natuarally hit back! Distractions of Tool kit and continually sniping at each other when maximum cooperation is paramount is unbelievable. We are in deep trouble with shortage of vaccines and therefore resultant deadlier third wave predicted by experts! When will the Centre, starting with the PM and the States bury the hatchet for the time being and save us all from getting Covid positive and dying for want of vaccines or oxygen or medical staff or shortage of firewood or graves and a thousand problems like high prices of essential commodities and resultant psycological and severe financial problems, hoarding, fake drugs, loss of jobs, starvation and so on. The toll on society is frightenning. No amount of compensation will compensate deaths and resultant destruction of millions of families.We have had enough of the communal virus and please do not bring in a positivity virus to replace accountability! For humanity's sake admit facts, get your act together on a war footing, concentrate on the suffering people and the Covid battle.
