Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first address after the second wave of Covid-19 made one thing clear: the Modi government has decided to wash its hands off the worst public health crisis faced by India. The prime minister’s designer look of a sanyasi did not indicate any desire to renounce power, but it did betray a proclivity to abjure responsibility. He had nothing to offer. He knew it. And it showed.
The speech was not ill-timed. If anything, the nation has been waiting to hear PM Modi. The number of Covid-positive cases has been rising exponentially. The number of deaths is reported to be much higher than the official count. Health infrastructure is crumbling. Public as well as private hospitals have no ventilators, no beds, not even oxygen. The one thing not short in supply is dead bodies in crematoria and burial grounds. Life-saving medicine is being traded in the black market. Number of vaccinations has come down. Everyone is worried, trying hard not to panic. Everyone needs assurance. Everyone has questions about India’s preparedness for the crisis that is upon us. Everyone wants to know about the government’s plans.
Woefully short
PM Modi’s speech was mercifully short. It was also woefully short on everything people needed, wanted and were entitled to know. People demanded answers; he offered none. People needed credible assurances; he offered empty words. People were angry at the criminal negligence of their elected government; he trivialised their suffering by treating it as personal misfortune. It was not the speech of a democratically elected leader submitting a report to his masters. It was an imperious ruler telling his subjects that all is well, that they must trust him and his government.
There was no dramatic announcement, nothing that could cause public panic. The closest PM Modi came to announcing something was to indicate that his government was not considering another nationwide lockdown. That was perhaps the only real relief in the speech. But you don’t need to keep the nation in suspense at 8:45 pm for this reward.
There was no account of the work done over the last year. Not a word about why we find ourselves in the midst of a second wave despite his earlier claims of India being a model of Covid management for the rest of the world. He chose to present the second wave as if it was aftershock of an earthquake, a natural calamity beyond our control. Nor did he bother to offer any details of what his government had done in the last 13 months to safeguard the country against this possibility. As he was addressing the nation, medical superintendents of some of the leading hospitals in the national capital were raising a red flag that they had only a few hours’ supply of medical oxygen left with them. The PM, of course, assured that plans were on to make medical oxygen available, but said nothing about why this was being planned now. Same with hospital infrastructure and medicines. Everything was in present continuous tense: “Prayas kiya jaa raha hai”.
There were no future plans either. The PM had suggestions for everyone else. The state governments must inspire confidence among the workers so that they stay back. So, if there is another exodus of migrant workers, the responsibility lies with the state government, never mind the fact that it was the Modi government that invoked a central act overriding the powers of the states to deal with the pandemic. He asked NGOs and social organisations to help the needy. So, relief work is not the responsibility of the government. He wanted the media to ensure no panic and rumour-mongering was happening. He advised the youth to form committees to enforce pandemic appropriate discipline. He forgot to tell them how to cultivate this discipline among the leaders who continue election rallies in the midst of this crisis. Not content, he also recruited the children in this crusade. In sum: Everyone except his own government is responsible for facing this second wave of Covid. For the Modi government, there were no targets, no roadmaps, no benchmarks, no tasks.
There was not even the usual attempt to bluff on his part. There was only one concrete detail that the PM shared with the public. He claimed that India was the fastest country to give 10 crore doses of the vaccine. This claim is incorrect and misleading. Dr Rijo M. John confirmed that the US took 82 days to reach this landmark, while India took 84 days. In any case, the success of vaccination should be counted not in numbers but as proportion of the population. On that count, India is way behind many countries. Going by the PM’s standards on economy of truth, though, this would be considered a small lie.

PR at all cost
What, then, was the point of PM Modi’s address to the nation? What was the speech all about?
Well, the PM’s address to the nation was a PR exercise, a high TRP show on national television. My friend Rakesh Sharma, who has tracked Modi for over a decade, calls it “Pran jaye par PR na jaye”. The TV show was to ensure that the public gets to see the prime minister and not notice his absence at this critical juncture. His lofty but vacuous assurances were calculated to give enough reasons for his supporters to continue to suspend their disbelief. The rhetoric was intended to distract the public from the tragic images of hospitals and crematoria that are now doing the rounds in the media. The entire ritual was designed to cover up the growing impression of a ruler indifferent to the plight of the public and, worse, a leader who is solely interested in electoral victory at all cost.
The trick has worked for long, with active support from darbari media. But the law of diminishing returns is beginning to set in. It is one thing to lose territory to China in the far-flung Ladakh and yet convince the public that it was China that got a thrashing. It is quite another thing to convince that we have done our best in this pandemic to those who are running from hospital to hospital for a bed, trying to purchase medicines in the black market and watching the pyres lit outside a crematorium. Sooner than later, this recognition is dawning upon the Indian public: Modi knows how to win elections, but he does not know how to govern.
Yogendra Yadav is the National President of Swaraj India. Views are personal.
(Edited by Neera Majumdar)
The entire Cabinet must resign on moral grounds owning full responsibility for the catastrophy facing the Nation.Look at deaths by thousands and Covid positive cases by Lakhs and the close relatives and friends of these people ,who are under stress .
OMG SAVE THE NATION.
How could China enslave so called democracies & powers like USA/Europe as well as media in west & India that they are all silent on fixing Chinese responsibility for the Wuhan Virus disaster??!!
Data robbers & freedom manipulators like Google/youtube, FB, Twitter etc.. are silent!!
No hash tag on how Chinese Virus is killing Indians, Europeans & Americans alike!!
No hash tag on how Chinese are killing Muslims while Muslims are SILENT as dead PORK!!
Don’t talk irrelevance. Yes, the virus came from China, they have controlled it, they have 35 cases a day, and they have a bigger population.
Similarly, US, UK and EU are controlling after a bad start.
India is heading to be the topper, it is going to be on the red list of very country, and it is going to stay that way for a long time.
The cause for the collpase of healthcare (and the economy) is Modi and Hindutva. Everyone knows it and you know it also.
It is time for the people of India to vote out Ravan Modi and ban the RSS. Hindus are being cremated on the pavements while the saviours of dharma fly around without a care in their private jets at state expense. The Indian Express reports the Muslims are volunteering to help cremate Hindu fellow citizens because your ardent saviours of the dharma like RSS did not volunteer.
yogendra bhai has the situation on its head. it is not for the nation to expect anything from the modi bhai. it is for the modi bhai to expect from the nation. after all th enation bhai elected the modi bhai.
The population figures go like this –
USA – 33.1 Crores
Russia -14.6 Crores
Germany – 8.5 Crores
Turkey – 8.4 Crores
UK – 6.8 Crores
France – 6.5 Crores
Italy – 6.1 Crores
Spain – 4.7 Crores
Poland – 3.8 Crores
Romania – 1.9 Crores
Netherlands – 1.7 Crores
Greece – 1.7 Crores
Belgium -1.2 Crores
Czech Republic – 1.1 Crores
Portugal – 1.1 Crores
Sweden – 1 Crore
Hungary – 1 Crore
Switzerland – 0.9 Crore
Bulgaria – 0.7 Crore
Denmark – 0.6 Crore
Total – 105. 3 Crores
The rest of the 25 smaller European countries combined (there are 44 countries in the European continent) – 6 Crores
Europe – 105.3 + 6 = 111.3 Crores
Adding the populations of Brazil (21.2 Crores) and Argentina (4.45 Crores)
111.3 Crores + 25.65 Crores = 136.95 Crores
Thus, finally you have arrived at lndia’s population figure of 136 – 138 Crores.
The implication of managing Covid19 in lndia is as enormous task as managing it in the entire Europe plus USA, Brazil and Argentina.
It’s easy to criticise!!
And, some of our own do their best to run down our own country !
Worth a Thought. Don’t believe rumors and hearsay.
Earlier your type was saying Modi has made India the vishwa guru, the vaccine guru, and on a par with US, UK and EU. Now you have your pants down and have been exposed in front of the world, so you tell us our scale is enormous and it is not comparable with others.
@The spinner: Earlier your types were saying west & Islam are vishwagurus!! Then they got abused & raped by China!!
Useful idiots like you invited the above destitute Islamists & western Christians to rob & rape the splendid Indian civilization!!
No change in the sick of your types too!!
Hope we have some amount of intellectual honesty. when govt is in the business of governance and not in execution, how can govt give targets as stakeholder are not directly reporting to govt. State govt which are the source of execution has not been asked to be resposible for their actions and inaction. Finally what is the responsibility of the people who had dropped the social distancing norm and today they cry hoax. Probably this is like the stupidity fo standing against the storm and then complaining about the lifeguards. Offcourse i donot expect anything neutral or sensible from media. Texas did not have power and nobody spoke something like this at the time of crisis.
Yogendra Yadav looks like and sounds like the doomsday man without the placard saying the world will end tomorrow. Instead of trying to placate the panic struck public, he’s fanning the fire of hopelessness and helplessness of the present crisis that is going on in India and the world. Of course it’s a pandemic and Narendra Modi is not Sri Krishna that he can stop the virus in its tracks with a hurl of the Sudharshan chakra; he’s an ordinary man doing extraordinary things so that India may prosper.
If Yogendra Yadav had only listened to what prof Randeep Guleria, the Director Of AIIMS said about not panicking, hoarding oxygen because everyone doesn’t need it and masking up and not having a blast friends and washing washing your hands with soap and water and not talking too much like Yogendra Yadav lest you spread the virus via droplet infection. Yadav must follow the old schoolboy dictum of keeping his fly closed because they spread disease and in his case, his mouth because it spews venom and does nothing except cause panic among the people.
true we must placate the people – till they die. doomsday man?
The time for empty talks of optimism is over. This government can do nothing except keep giving false hope and shift the blame to the people instead of assuming any responsibility. And brainwashed idiots like you are their main targets. Morons like you attended election rallies and cricket matches and are now spreading “gyaan”, calling the other citizens irresponsible. Please shove your “gyaan” in your “gaand” before some other angry Indian does it for you.
YY is back as Monday morning quarterbacks. Come on we are facing an unpredictable pandemic. Last century during Spanish flue about 2 crore Indians lost there lives when the undivided Indian population was just 22 crores. That makes it about 10 %. That time there was little migrant or general public mobility due to kuchcha roads. In today’s scenario the mortality figure would have amounted to say 13 crores. Govt succeeded in curtailing the loss in the first one year. Now the second wave has hit us and nation is scrambling to face this new challenge. We are living in India with an ocean of population. A poor country can not afford to be battle ready for unlimited period as it requires unlimited funds. But good for nothing liberals like the author will never understand bqs they just do not want to. Govt is on the ball, as long as each citizen and politician does its part responsibly we shall overcome this. Be positive.
any fool can run anything when the world is working fine. people are not elected to govern for that
India’s real misfortune lies in the fact that the electorate refuses to hold its elected leaders to account for their abysmal performance. Instead, the electorate indulges in hero worship and behaves like members of a religious cult or the fan base of a rock star. They will simply brook no criticism of the person they reserve their adulations for. And will go to absurd lengths to defend their hero, even when is a charlatan and murderer and actually does them harm. The bulk of the comments that have come in here support that view – there is no objective analysis of the incumbent’s performance.
Thus, despite the fact that former Union Minister A. Raja cheats the country to the tune of US$ 25 billions in the 2G Spectrum scam, voters don’t care. A.Raja plays the Dalit card adroitly and has been voted back to the Lok Sabha.
Likewise, terror accused Sadhvi Pragya Thakur who went about praising Godse and pontificated about the cancer-curing effects of stroking cows won by a thumping majority in Indore. This cow becomes A.Raja’s colleague In the Lok Sabha!
In the same vein, a semi-literate, Gujarathi RSS pracharak with a pogrom under his belt, crony capitalism as his calling card and economic mismanagement as his trademark is still not held accountable. But Modi’s rank incompetence, warped priorities and self-aggrandizement are all manifested in his handling of the COVID crisis and the ensuing human tragedy. Yet, bhakths will blame everyone but the cult leader – even when their own lives are in danger thanks to Führer Modi’s inept handling of the crisis, worsened by his autocratic tendencies. Indeed, there was one commenter here in The Print who said he was even willing to sell his kidney for Modi !
Two quotes from the ancient Greek philosopher Plato capture the events of India:
“The people always have some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness. This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.”
“In politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. But, when we are ill , we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one”
Theyse quotes apply to India and to the illogical, idiotic and destructive Modi worhsip one sees in India.
Today I saw a clip of Arnob discussing with 5 doctors about the second wave and how to flatten the curve. He was meek and low key. Gone was his Hindutva nationalism and ‘Poochta Hai Bharat approach to Muslims and seculars’ !
The govt’s fiasco in corona wave 2 has subdued even a bhakth like Arnob. He was not attacking anyone for it now – Muslims, Congress, Nehru, seculars. He wanted to look for a solution. The meekness comes from the realisation that he or his family may be struck and one may not get bed space.
Of course he should raise his voice and put his Poochta Hai Bharat to Modi and his sycophants . Yadav comments Indians want answers. But Arnob does not have the guts for that. He cannot raise a voice against the sadhus holding the country to ransom over the Kumbh, like he did against the Markaz. He is a Hindutva coward who batted for Modi and those who have wrecked India.
We see that bhakths are blaming all except their Supreme Leader. One says the states are responsible for the mess up. Another says the Indian public is indisciplined. Another asks why farmers were not blamed. Another says we have a large and poor population and we do not have the resources, India is not like Israel or England or US, so how can we blame Modi ? Yet another says the media should educate people.
They are pleading diminished responsibility because it is a loss of face to say Modi and Hindutva are failures, and their supporters are complicit . These people have been the enablers of communalists, murderers, dacoits and thugs under the guise of nationalism (Modi, Yogi, Sadhvi all have the blood of Indians on their hands).
I say Modi and Hindutva are responsible for the Covid fiasco. Here is the proof.
Modi continued with extended elections and rallies in Bengal – knowing the Indian public is indisciplined. PM Tagore was admiring the sight of his bhakths – who had been hired to cheer him. It is still going on.
The govt. laid 25 trains to the Kumbh Mela. It did not lay trains for the migrant workers.
The sadhus brought the Kumbh forward by 1 year due to some astrologers. Modi does not have the courage to put his foot down on the sadhus who say they will continue with their religious frenzy till 30 April. This is the baggage of Hindutva.
The BJP ministers and Modi himself were encouraging unscientific behaviour. Previously, a BJP MP had said that cows exhale oxygen. So why is there an oxygen shortage considering cows have multiplied under the BJP ? The latest is the CM of Uttarkhand stated that our rishis and munis used to live for days without oxygen in Vedic times. Then why do you blame people if this is what leaders teach ? It is no good saying our people are sub-standard. Nehru knew that but still he worked to create a scientific temper – he created the IITs, medical institutions and the space and nuclear programme. If our people are backward, what has the BJP done to change it ? The BJP has encouraged rank superstition and astrology. I have a video of a person with mask delivering gomutra to a patient.
See the interview with Barkha Dutt in CNN to view the reality. There is no oxygen, there is vaccine shortage and crematoria are melting down. In the time it takes to increase the supply of these, the infected will multiply. She said Modi indulged in false nationalism and did not allow import of vaccines till now. Only another prolonged lockdown can break the chain. The new variant is affecting children. She said new born babies are affected. Her own father is in ICU.
My message to Indians : it is time to recognise the failure of Modi and also realise this is where Hindutva will take you. You will have to put up with this torture for another 3 years. But come to your senses now.
How could China enslave so called democracies & powers like USA/Europe as well as media in west & India that they are all silent on fixing Chinese responsibility for the Wuhan Virus disaster??!!
Data robbers & freedom manipulators like Google/youtube, FB, Twitter etc.. are silent!!
No hash tag on how Chinese Virus is killing Indians, Europeans & Americans alike!!

Don’t try whataboutery. The virus came from China, they controlled it, they have 35 cases a day, and we have 3 lakh cases. China’s economy has rebounded with growth at 18%. I am not an admirer of China, but they are capable of fixing a health care problem. We are not capable of fixing the health system as we are mired in Hindutva ideology, astrology, and Vedic mumbo jumbo about cows exhaling oxygen.
We need to eradicate Covid and Hindutva viruses.
What about the fools we call public? Don’t they have any responsibility or do we expect the government to do the baby sitting for them? Who asked them to go to religious or political gatherings and who told them not to wear masks in public?
And can you suggest an alternative to Modi at the moment? None whatsoever.
The public is indeed a fool also in electing (a mass murderer) and re-electing them. We are paying the price.
‘Who asked them to go to religious or political gatherings and who told them not to wear masks in public?’
Who put out 25 trains for Kumbh Mela ?
Modi declared Covid will be conquered in 25 days. Harshvardhan gave the message we are in the end game for Covid.
Cannot a nation of 1.3 billion produce a non-criminal ? The alternative to Modi is Congress. Rahul is not so bad as you make out. He does not speak like a jahil and he is not a genocidist. When MMS made a suggestion on vaccines, Harsh Vardhan lashed out in the usual uncouth manner – but next day, the govt. started implementing what he said.
Gopa: You bray:
“.. And can you suggest an alternative to Modi at the moment? None whatsoever ..”
Well, you remind of the cricket pundits who would say:
“Gavaskar is indispensable”
“Kapil Dev cannot be replaced”
“Tendulkar is ir-replaceable”
Well, turns out that all these guys have been replaced and Indian cricket flourishes.
Moving on to the other ludicrous claim about the public being fools. Fact is, in a country where high levels of illiteracy is compounded by the inherent propensity of Indians to indulge in uncritical hero worship, it is even more important that elected leaders lead by example. And regardless of what regional leaders do, the PM, who is the voice and face of the country leads by example. And regardless of the election cycles in the country, the PM’s job is to work for the country and not for the BJP. On that front he has miserably failed – PM MOdi puts party and himself ahead of the people.
And getting back to your ludicrous claim about Modi being so great that he is God himself and cannot be replaced, well, here is what former President of France Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970).
“The cemeteries are full of indispensable people”
YoYa will always remain the dreg of any movement. It’s core et cetera. Be it the AAP movement or
kisan andolan. This reptilian brain is one of the tragedies of too much democracy that one has to suffer. The law of diminishing returns has truly caught up with his jholawala politics. Compared to him the other failed commie, Sitaram Yechuri, a once upon a time Intellectual, is a star.
why are you getting upset about YOYA. you be happy that we are report 350 K infections daily. the true number could be double that or many times that. you should be concerned about the number of bhakts who have died attending the election rallies and the number of bhakts permanently damaged for life by some aspect of the virus. that could be a source of comfort ?
Can any body expect Yogendra Yadav to be honest in his assessment. He himself is responsible for spread of Corona. Instead of making farmers understand the seriousness of Corona , he instigated them to hold dharna. Thousands gathered , they claim lakhs gathered and Corona was to explode and then to further their political goal , farmers were dispatched to all the states to canvass against Modi. Will Corona not spread. Actually people like Yadav are enemy of humanity
Yo Ya is what he is . Do you have a clue about what you are talking about? are you honest with yourself? that is more important than what Yo Ya says or does.
Good
Great Yogendra Yadav said true. There is acute shortage of beds,oxygen,life saving drugs,ventilators for Covid-19 patients but there is no shortage in supply of dead bodies in crematoria and burial grounds. PM Ji “PRAYAS KAR RAHEN HAIN” perhaps in Kolkata or Howrah.
Hats off to Yogendra Yadav for explaining to the readers the realities of the Government’s hollow speeches and the difficulties being faced by Covid-19 victims in hospitals.It’s true that there is shortage of beds,ventilators,oxygen,life saving medicines,pp kits,etc.but there is no shortage in supply of dead bodies in crematoria and burial grounds. PRADHAN MANTRI JI PRAYAS KAR RAHE HAIN ! Perhaps in Kolkata.
Kudos!The article narrated the problem faced by the general public and patience. We are aware of it, but the writer failed to establish where the vaccination has gone. If it is gone, why without protecting Indians? Why were oxygen cylinders exported to foreign countries? Is it true? Why it is done when the internal requirement is too high. Without preparedness for the second attack, we undermined our own home and allowing people to die without a modicum of respect. A sufferer needs relief, not rhetoric.
Very appropriate comments ,, someone has the guts to tell the truth ,,,
How so ever bitter ,,, it’s the blind folded Bhakti’s who are responsible to keep this man in power even after 6 years of mismanagement ,, the only highlight is the event management ,,, list is endless if anyone wants to look at it … but the mukhauta is fading and the body language is crumbling .. only the paid media keeps the image building activity going ..
Shame on us for not speaking up when it mattered …
Paki or commie congressi spotted!!
Would salim bhai start an organisation called TLI to start anti FRANCE campaign like TLP.
India has to have Population control bill which will be helpful IF severe penalties are imposed for anyone found guilty of breaking the rules!! Else, the usual suspects will break the rules while claiming victim hood!!
People should be forced to pay heavy financial penalties with loss of govt. support & subsidies, de-franchising for people & their families if found guilty!!
So called secular but in fact extremist, illegal & immoral Muslim bodies like WAQF board should also be made to pay heavy penalties if their community deviates from the rules!!
Brilliantly summarized. Couldn’t have put it better.
People comnting here just don’t know the reality or just pretending that they don’t know anything…reading these comnts saying that govnt is not responsible for this is just killing me…but how ..how they can say like this…it’s shows how easily and badly our people can be manipulated…they doesn’t even spend some time to know the truth..it’s just so sad to see my india like this it is already half dead…and will be completely dead…under this govt sooner…..uuterly disappointed….
Don’t worry Brother! Not all the people are blind yet. There are handful people like you and me who will fight with these Andh bhakts and will try to open their eyes. We will keep trying , don’t lose hope!
Just think again . Actually your thought process has been manipulated.
How many hospitals & Oxygen factories were opened by Kejrudin’s Delhi or Sonia’s Pakistani Sena in Maharashtra?? When will citizens get rid of these hafta politicians, media or Chinese Paid so called social activists like this idiot Y.Yadav??
In British Khangress installed Hindu apartheid & genocide land, India, zMUSLIM BODY, WAQF BOARD can declare YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY as theirs and you can’t even go to the courts!!
This is democracy, secularism & governance according to @The Print, Indian express… & so called secular commie politicians, Islamist’s & libarandus!! zIslam can declare parliament of India as their property and no one can do anything!!
Idiot, medical oxygen is supplied by the central government
You are an idiot!! IF everything has to be done by the central government, what’s the point of having state governments especially the secular congressi kind which made Islamic terrorist-an and kept voters of that terror land in India??!!
More than anyone, you definitely need a reality check. Please don’t belittle your name.
Yogendra Yadav is definitely a Totally bought out stooge who has no Real Stand. I wonder if he can even look at himself in a mirror. If he ever does, will be horrified at the Guy there.
I don’t understand why he ia even given a space to write.
The Print too is as lowly & disgusting as YY.
All u guys will Rot in hell & die like RATS.
One thing is for sure, Mr. Yogendra Yadav. You sure can write some shit. Reporters like you deserve the credit of driving such a big nation’s blind and stupid people upto insanity. But for good or bad, India is now probably 80% for shitty people like you.
For sure there was a golden time of this country but not anymore. Reason, spineless people like you. You really deserve this country. Go destroy it to the maximum and make money out of it, just like what most politicians have done so far. Not one reporter have been found who has the spine to report the facts. And I understand upto certain point that you are selling too. And can’t sell something easily if it’s not spicy enough for people. But really, till what extent? Is there anything called moral or ethics left in you guys, anymore?
Comments show that how well these gunda politicians have knit the web, who won’t allow the genuine leaders to takeover the reins of this poor country. I really have lost the faith that this country can be ever made liveable for the reformists. Mr Yogender, you are just wasting your time and life like many others being in your motherland. I wish, you should opt to settle in some developed country , which many Indians, have already done. How true Guru Nanak ji was… Let the good people move away……..
Stop writing against Modi! He is the most patriotic PM ever!
Yes!! PM Modi is the best PM ever!! Ironic that this PM is still defending dharma & lives unlike the Congressi un-elected autocrat like Nehru!!
The western media say without exception that the Indian govt. has failed its people. Modi’s bhakts are telling us the people failed the govt..
Modi declared India is the Vishwa guru and Vaccine Guru. But we do not have vaccine, oxygen, bed and crematorium.
China where the virus started has 35 cases a day, and the economy has bounced back to 18% growth. India has 3 lakh cases daily and this is going to increase. Modi will continue with election and Kumbh.
India is on the way to become a pariah nation. The UK and Canada have put India on a red list (the UK held off for a long while because they wanted a trade deal). Oman has banned flights, afterwards UAE has. In the coming days, you will see the US and the EU. The rest will follow.
