PM Modi prioritising WB polls over people's lives Maha Cong

    Mumbai, Apr 14 (PTI) Maharashtra Congress chief Nana
Patole on Wednesday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi
will announce a national lockdown only after the elections in
West Bengal are over, as he is prioritising polls over
people's lives.
    Speaking to reporters, Patole said national reports
have indicated that the coronavirus infection is spreading at
a high speed across the country, but the Prime Minister is
busy holding rallies.
    Prime Minister Modi will announce a national lockdown
only after the elections in West Bengal are over, he claimed.
    "Between April 1 and 10, coronavirus spread rapidly
across the nation. However, the Prime Minister is holding
large rallies without wearing a mask. He is happily
campaigning in West Bengal, but people who are suffering are
ignored by his government. What message is Modi sending by not
wearing a mask at rallies?" Patole said.
    Reacting to Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis'
allegations regarding the MVA government's relief package,
Patole accused the BJP leader of unnecessarily playing
politics over the state government's measures.
    "If Fadnavis really has some clout in Delhi, he should
ensure that Maharashtra gets its due worth Rs 90,000 crore of
GST and other schemes," the Congress leader said. PTI ND
