It is never too late to apply the brakes on mass gatherings. But the central and state governments need to set an example before pontificating discipline to the masses.
Unlike 1991, this is not an economic crisis. India can take the lesson from the last similar healthcare crisis that the world faced in Spanish flu — reform or perish.
Before social media, depiction of violence on news was the exception—graphic visuals were either not shown on TV or in newspapers or the images were blurred. This is no longer the case.
Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
Author has rightly pointed out that it is never too late to put breaks on mass gatherings. Mr. Modi has rightly made the call to make Kumbh as symbolic now. Hopefully Uttarakhand BJP government will listen to him. As a solution author has only called out that governments need to set out an example. It should start with the rallies of Mr. Modi and Mr. Shah in Bengal and Mamata should follow suit. Covering with tin sheets is not going to stop the effect of this pandemic being felt by the public.
We need senior and credible persons like Chari to pinprick the BJP governments and show them the mirror. He has placed factual position on the issue and no one can disagree with him.

Modi haters have only one agenda i.e. to blame BJP and keep mum on oppositions anti India and anti social behavior. Modi haters want Indians to die from Corona so that they can raise their pitch to bark on Modi, RSS and nationalists. Instead of working with Central government in the interest of the people, opposition seem to have no responsibility of peoples welfare.
Mamata and Uddhav are known bad asses.
