Narendra Modi, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge today said the former Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan was made a scapegoat for the mismanagement of coronavirus.
Speaking at Rajya Sabha, Kharge said, "Prime Minister Modi appealed to people to clang utensils, light up candles. People trusted him and did all of it.
But, he did not fulfill his promise rather disappointed them. Instead of taking its blame, he made the health minister a scapegoat." "Government asked people to wear masks and maintain social distancing.
But what were they doing, during the elections in different states? You are breaking your own rules. You should be given credit for flouting COVID norms," stated the Congress leader.
