This comes after Soren said that PM Narendra Modi “just spoke his mind and didn’t listen” during a call.

“While making a statement on the Prime Minister of the country, he must not forget that the pandemic should be addressed by a joint effort of the Centre and the state government. Taking out the rage on PM Modi while trying to conceal your failure is condemnable,” the health minister said in a strongly worded tweet.

Accusing the state government of keeping its purse tight, the Health Minister said that Hemant Soren wants the Center to do everything while he keeps the state exchequer closed. “Fight with coronavirus, not PM,” the health minister said.

Assam incumbent chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal termed Soren’s tweet as ‘unfortunate’ and said Soren is only trying to politicise PM Modi’s concern and work for people. “PM Modi Ji’s every effort and action are only for the people and the Nation,” he tweeted.
