How did you miss all the instances of police beating hapless citizens? Sitting in your privileged mansion, it is not possible to understand why people need to go out for grocery or meds. And hunger has never been an issue for you. Let’s call emergency and see the country explode

Modi ji didn’t declare emergency, because then he would would have to do all the hard work the CMs are doing. Which joker is incapable of anyways.

On March 24, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced a nationwide lockdown for the next 21 days. India has registered around 724 Covid-19 positive cases and 18 deaths have been reported so far.

However, despite the lockdown, all essential services are still available so there’s no reason to panic.
