Kejriwal’s reactions during PM-CMs meet on COVID-19 spark meme-fest online

Twitterati had a field day on Friday after a video of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was seen bored and lousy during a COVID-19 review meeting called by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, went viral on social platforms.

During Thursday's meeting, the prime minister said the country has crossed the peak of the first wave of COVID-19 and the growth and lamented that people— in some states even administration, too—have grown much more casual.

“Many states, including Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat have crossed the peak of the first wave. Many other states are moving in that direction. This is a serious concern,” Modi said while interacting with the chief ministers.
