New Delhi, Apr 21 DMK leader MK Stalin asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi worried only about the West Bengal and Tamil Nadu elections and not fighting the second wave of Covid- 19. "How did PM Modi, who is proclaimed as a 'world expert' in management, get defeated so badly in handling the corona crisis?" asked MK Stalin. In a statement, MK Stalin blamed the AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu for wasting Covid-19 vaccines. "Of the 44 lakh vaccines wasted across the country, 12.10% have been wasted by Tamil Nadu. This brings tears of blood to me. Whatever reasons given by the Tamil Nadu government for so much wastage are unacceptable,” said MK Stalin. The DMK leader also said the state’s handling of the second Covid-19 wave is condemnable. Stalin also questioned the Centre's decision to import 50,000 metric tonnes of Oxygen. "Until yesterday, the BJP government claimed to have adequate Oxygen, and now I see reports about the Centre deciding to import 50,000 metric tonnes of Oxygen. Did PM Modi only worry about Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal? Was he not bothered about the people who died in large numbers due to Corona?" asked Stalin. Stalin said that though Tamil Nadu excels in helping neighbouring states, it is hurtful to know that the Centre has diverted 45 metric tonnes of Oxygen from Tamil Nadu.
