Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday attacked the Narendra Modi government over the rise in COVID-19 cases and Chinese aggression in Ladakh, saying it continues to rubbish his warnings.
He said even though he kept warning the government on COVID-19, "disaster" has followed.
"I kept warning them on COVID-19 and the economy. They rubbished it. Disaster followed. I keep warning them on China. They're rubbishing it," he said on Twitter.
India saw a record single-day spike of 49,310 COVID-19 cases taking the country's tally to 12,87,945 on Friday, while the recoveries surged to 8,17,208, according to the Union Health Ministry data.
The death toll mounted to 30,601 with 740 new fatalities reported in a span of 24 hours, the data updated at 8am on Friday showed.
Since February, Rahul Gandhi had claimed the Modi government should pay more attention to the COVID-19 pandemic. The government had then dismissed his tweets. Rahul had also demanded transparency from the government on the situation with China on the Ladakh border, even before the clash at Galwan on June 15.
