Mr. @JPNadda writes "In April itself, topmost Congress leaders were calling for ‘decentralisation of vaccination’"

Mr @JPNadda raises the issue of #Ventilators sanctioned under #PMCaresFund lying idle in Congress-ruled states "..it is saddening to see visuals of ventilators sent through PM-CARES Fund lying around unused in certain states.."

Jharkhand, Punjab, Maharashtra, Rajasthan..

"the conduct of topmost Congress leaders including former Congress President Shri @RahulGandhi will be remembered for duplicity and pettiness. Your party, under your leadership, is doing no favours to itself by opposing #lockdown and then demanding for the same.." @JPNadda

13/n
Mr @JPNadda continues ".. ignoring the Centre’s advisories on the second wave of COVID and then saying they did not get any information.."

In a meeting held on 17'Mar, skipped by CM @bhupeshbaghel, PM Modi clearly warned states to control the emerging #SecondCovidWave

"Holding massive election rallies in Kerala causing a spike in COVID cases while grandstanding about election rallies else-where, supporting protests but speaking about following COVID guidelines," writes @JPNadda calling out @RahulGandhi & Congress on duplicity on rallies

15/n
Here are some more pictures of the superspreader rallies as held by Congress leader @RahulGandhi in Kerala (which has one of the highest cases of #Coronavirus in India).

"Even when the 2nd wave was on the rise, your party leaders were happier being seen in super spreader political events in North India, where there was no regard for masks or social distancing." writes @JPNadda calling out #PriyankaGandhi who held numerous 'Mahapanchayats'

17/n
"The data from February and March would reveal which states failed to track the rising cases. Why are mortality rates in states such as Punjab so high? These are questions you must ask your own Chief Ministers" @JPNadda

18/n
"..a new trend in Congress to put all blame on #CentralVista project. I would like to remind you that the need for a new Parliament was raised as early as UPA times. Former Speaker, Meira Kumar Ji herself under-scored the need for a new Parliament building." @JPNadda

19/n
"People are also contrasting the Congress’ stand on #CentralVista with the Chhattisgarh Government going ahead to build a new assembly complex." writes @JPNadda directly calling out Congress on their sheer hypocrisy

#CentralVistaProject #CongressMukTBharat #COVID19

"No less than the #SupremeCourt, the highest court of our land, said that the health infrastructure we have inherited over the last 70 years is inadequate. Needless to say which party has dominated India’s political landscape in these seven decades." says @JPNadda

#COVID19

21/n
"You must ask yourselves - in times as these, is your party’s conduct weakening the morale of these #CovidWarriors? Deliberately or otherwise, are your actions trying to weaken this fight against COVID-19?" @JPNadda ends the letter to #SoniaGandhi on a poignant note.
