After Health Min’s Caution, Congress Questions PM Modi’s Poll Rallies

New Delhi: After Union Health Minister asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to observe covid protocols during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the grand old party leaders raised questions on the BJP government’s Gujarat and Himachal rallies.

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Wednesday asked whether Covid protocols were followed during PM Modi’s election rallies during Assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal.

“I want to ask BJP did PM Modi followed Covid protocols during Gujarat Polls?, the Congress leader raised a counter question to the Centre by asking whether the Bharatiya Janata Party is upset with the popularity of Bharat Jodo Yatra of Rahul Gandhi.

Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot took to Twitter saying that no Covid-19 protocol was followed in PM Modi’s Tripura rally two days back. He said that BJP and the Modi government are worried after seeing the crowd in Bharat Jodo Yatra.

“Upset with the rising public support for Bharat Jodo Yatra, BJP’s aim is to disturb it. No COVID protocols were followed when PM did a rally in Tripura 2 days back…If Union Health Min has a valid concern & not a political aim, he should first write to PM,” Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot tweeted.

Notably, Mandaviya wrote a letter to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot asking to follow the COVID-19 guidelines strictly during the party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra on Tuesday.

Union Health Minister has also requested to postpone the foot march if the following protocol is impossible.

Amid the rising COVID cases in China, a top Indian health expert on Tuesday cautioned the people while asking them to keep a close vigil on the situation in the country.
