Mumbai: Following the Coronavirus outbreak in the country former finance minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram lambasted on centre led by PM Narendra Modi and said that the Centre is not doing enough to prevent a mass outbreak of the coronavirus in the country and urged for a video conference between the Prime Minister and chief ministers of various states.
“The government is not doing enough work on coronaviruses. I have no quarrel. If the Prime Minister wants to have a meeting with SAARC or the G-20 countries then it can have some benefits. But the question is whether we are behind the curve or ahead. My feeling is that the states are taking better measures whereas the Centre is very diffident. There should be a video conference between the Prime Ministers and Chief Ministers,” Chidambaram told ANI here.
“The rate at which the infection is galloping is worrisome. Last week (the number of infected people) was around 32 and this Sunday the number has reached 107. There are many more who have not submitted themselves to the test. Because there are not enough testing facilities, these are matters that the government should address, ”he said.
A total of 110 cases of coronavirus, including 17 foreign nationals, have been confirmed across India, Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said on Sunday.
