Shiv Sena targets PM Narendra Modi over Covid-19 crisis

The Shiv Sena on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had expressed confidence that the battle against Covid-19 would be won in 21 days, but it has been over 100 days and the crisis still persists.

The fight against Covid-19 is more difficult than the mythological war of Mahabharata, an editorial in Sena mouthpiece ''Saamana'' said, adding that the battle against the pandemic will continue till 2021 as the disease vaccine won't be available before that.

It expressed concern over India reporting the third highest COVID-19 cases in the world.

It is unfortunate and serious for the country, which is dreaming to become a financial superpower, to report over 25,000 COVID-19 cases in 24 hours, the Sena said.
