DEBATE
It was not at all justified to hold political rallies and religious gatherings when the Corona pandemic was staring at us. Government has all powers to do anything for the welfare of the people. Instead of throwing the ball in the Election Commission’s court, it could have postponed the elections at this juncture even if it meant imposing President rule in the states that went to polls. Kumbha Mela could also have been held symbolically as has been the case with Navratri this time. But Politicians, cutting across party lines, have been addressing huge rallies. Ministers without masks have addressed crowds. Ordinary people took the cue. Now the second wave is hammering us only because both the political class and the people lowered their guard.
