More than one lakh 82 thousand people have died in India due to the Covid epidemic, this is the official figure. The health system looks helpless, dashed. People are wandering the streets for hospital beds, oxygen, and medicines.
In such a frightening and complicated situation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was going to address the country at nine o'clock in the evening of April 20, then some people had hoped that they would take such steps that could restore the broken spirits.
During the first wave of Corona, there was a kind of enthusiasm in the public about PM Modi's public curfew, then the announcement of complete lockdown and his programs like clapping or lighting during that time, Modi's public participation in these announcements Proof of popularity was considered.
However, in his latest speech, the Prime Minister expressed condolences to the families, praised the doctors, medical staff involved in the fight against Corona, and counted the important decisions of the government.
He told the states to use lockdown as the last option, he also gave details of efforts to increase oxygen supply.
The Covid transition is a crisis for India that the citizens of the country have never seen and felt before, it is unprecedented and challenging in every way.
In this way, people were expected from the Prime Minister's address that they would announce to take some big and bold steps to deal with the unprecedented crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with seriousness for almost twenty minutes but no concrete announcement was heard.
Lack of facts-figures and concrete initiatives
No new announcement was made but at the same time, factual information about the steps being taken to deal with the current crisis was not heard from the PM.
Michael Kugelman is an expert on South Asian affairs at the Wilson Center in the United States.
Shortly after the speech, he tweeted that Narendra Modi addressed a country that is the center of the global pandemic and assured him of providing necessary facilities but more than that he did not give details about his plans.
This speech did not meet the expectations of many people.
Sunil Nandraj, who works on health issues, told Mumbai that the Prime Minister's speech meant, "Look after yourself, the government cannot do anything."
He asks, "What was that speech about? They should have told the people what steps are being taken to relieve the pain of people, whether it is lack of oxygen or vaccine. They put the vaccine in the private sector." Has been opened. 1,000 rupees have to be paid for a dose? Where are we? "
More than 61 thousand people have died due to Covid in Maharashtra and their people are worried about the lack of vaccines, oxygen, and hospital beds.
In Narendra Modi's speech, Sunil Nandraj says, "When he should have taken care of Covid, he was doing election campaign and other things. We did not take the situation seriously and we are in a bad situation."
Dr. Nisar-ul-Hasan of Kashmir Doctors Association from Srinagar said that the daily number of Covid infected people in Kashmir has increased from 100 to 2000.
He says, "Hospitals are full here. There are no ICU beds. People are dying in their homes."
According to Ravi Duggal, who works on health matters, the Prime Minister "should have mentioned compulsory licensing to increase production capacity. He should have talked about decentralization to buy and distribute vaccines, how it would be handled, resources Where will they come from, how will the state mobilize resources. "
This, according to Shrinath Reddy, head of Public Health Foundation of India, a Prime Minister's speech does not talk about operational details.
He says that the Prime Minister's speech gives direction and expresses commitment, that is, how much oxygen to bring, to be distributed, all these tasks are left to the agencies.
After this speech, many people are sharing a tweet of Narendra Modi on March 8, 2013, in which he wrote about the speech of the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, "Yesterday I heard the Prime Minister's speech and then I remembered that the empty pot is the most Makes a lot of noise. "
States responsibility
Prime Minister Modi in his speech requested the states to use lockdown as the last option. He also urged the state governments to assure the workers that they should stay where they are.
According to former MP member Pawan Verma, efforts are being made that the central government should put all the responsibility on the state governments, this is not fair.
He says, "Under the Disaster Management Act, the main responsibility rests with the central government."
Pawan Verma says that the way Prime Minister Modi focused on the achievements of the government in his speech, "It seemed that the Prime Minister did not understand the ground reality."
According to Pawan Verma, in his speech, Prime Minister Modi needed to give a roadmap as to how he would deal with these challenges.
According to Mihir Sharma, director of the Center for Economy and Growth in the think-tank ORF, this speech intended that if the situation worsens, the Chief Ministers of the states will have to suffer political damage and not the Prime Minister.
