TS Darbari – The sharp rise of cases in Maharashtra is a worrisome situation and it must be handled carefully. Maharashtra government has been vocal in criticizing the central government for lockdown and other policies against Covid19; however, the situation in the states whose governments and chief ministers were criticizing is worst whether it is Delhi or Maharashtra. Neither Kejriwal nor Thackrey could handle the situation once the central government left everything on the state governments. West Bengal simply stopped counting the cases or reporting the cases which was the easiest way to get rid of any responsiblity.
