While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Sorry to say that the writer of this piece is biased and is taking a blinkered view of the situation. I think in this pandemic the easiest thing for anyone is to be a writer and write about things they do not know sitting in the comforts of their homes. As I have been saying earlier The Print.in is also going the same way. It is only very clear that this writer has no clue about the pandemic and how it is spread and what is the treatment options available. He only finds it very easy to blame Kejriwal for everything. He goes on to make some very serious allegations about the government fudging data. What is the fact. Does he have evidence. Lets understand that no one saw this pandemic coming and in such a large scale. Our healthcare system is crumbling and in most cases exists only on paper. Everyone talks about ICUs and ventilators and that is not the solution. It will be nice for Shivam Vij to keep quiet and not talk about issues that he has no clue about. It is easy to find faults and give suggestions but being on the ground and doing something is difficult. I am sorry that Shivam is another bak, bak, bakwas writer and I do not know why he is singling out Kejriwal whereas the overall picture as regarding the handling of the Corona virus is in a default mode allowing nature to take its own course. Change your glasses Shivam if you want to see the truth as it is.
Shivam Vij has done a better job in analyzing the deficiencies of the Kejriwal govt as compare to the by Ms Taskin .All of our politicians should humbly be saying now that their capacities were not enough for a virus .This is a terrible crisis for everyone involved and there are unfortunately no easy solutions .Places like Delhi and Mumbai due to their nature are Covid Hot spots .Any Politician would have struggled do all that much .While journalists can argue for a hospital to be set up a la Wuhan , I always wonder how the manpower would be obtained for such endeavors .Put simply , this is not as easy as giving away free electricity or free bus rides but Kejriwal and other politicians should take this crisis as an opportunity to prepare for the next one .
Agreed, every lamp post in this country has an opinion
The problem here is Kejriwal’s inability to comprehend. This one line says it ALL. Kejri does not a clue and his people are all looters and none of them know how to handle anything.People of Delhi were fooled by Kejri and his corrupt friends and we are left having to fix it.
Really? Seriously? Is Delhi suffering that much, or should I say that is Delhi suffering alone? Are your eyes shut blind to other states or is it what it always has been? Delhi is failing, true. But as is Maharastra, Tamil Nadu, and other states, nothing less, nothing more.
Ohh, or is it that ThePrint, also…..? Don’t worry, doesn’t feel bad anymore about this drowning pillar.
It is fun to see the luddite liberal and selectively secular media rail against Shri Kejriwal. As long as it suited each other, media and Shri Kejriwal were joined at the hip. Apparently he was the best Chief Minister of a state, while in truth he was nothing more than a Mayor of a city. Now that the chickens have come home to roost, the media is backtracking furiously, lest it also gets the blame for backing the wrong horse.
If a Bureaucrat turned Magsaysay award winning NGO worker turned Politician fails like this in administration, one wonders if people really count for our so called leaders. This is sheer lack of will from Kejriwal.
Between Modi at the Union level and Kejriwal at the state level, Delhi is in a sorry state. As many govt have discovered to their peril, health infrastructure cannot be created in a day – Kejriwal had 6 years, Modi had 13 years, yet both have scored zero on the health front. Fudging figures is tough in health hence Modi is also keeping quite and not claiming that Ayushman Bharat will save Indians from covid. Interestingly situation is equally bad in Ahmedabad but then the national media is quite forgiving to BJP ruled states. Even Shiv Sena is paying the price for chronically underfunding and understaffing the health infrastructure of BMC – result is showing in Mumbai.
Amidst all this mismanagement, Sri Raghav Chaddha, the AAP spokesperson claimed emphatically at least on 3 channels over 2/ 3 days that the entire AAP team was working day & night to fight the corona crisis. Poor boy, he does not know nobody is interested in how hard a work one has put in but only in RESULTS. And the scoresheet shows AAP has been a miserable failure in controlling the pandemic even in a small UT like Delhi.
AAP has proved to be totally immature, inexperienced and possibly incompetent as well.
Jounalists should be neither be haters or cheer leaders. Shivam Vij is trying to hide his hate between English sentences.
What a biased and uncanny piece of journalism! May be not even worth being called that.
It is just becoming a trend with the print.
kejr a babu is most ineffecient CM . not fit tbe peon
Such an utterly biased piece of yellow journalism.

Does this reporter have any clue on what is happening in Delhi and more over India?
