Govt, Administration, Public Dropped Guard After First Covid Wave: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat

The RSS chief, though, urged all to work as a team and stay positive in the fight against the pandemic instead of levelling accusations against each other.

New Delhi: As India reels under the second wave of Covid-19, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday said the government, administration and public became complacent after the first wave, which led to the present situation.

The RSS chief, though, urged all to work as a team and stay positive in the fight against the pandemic instead of levelling accusations against each other.

“All of us the general public, government and administration became complacent after the first wave. The doctors were indicating but we became complacent. That is why we are facing this problem. Now, there are talks of the third wave but we don’t have to fear but prepare ourselves,” ANI quoted Bhagwat as saying while addressing a lecture series ‘Positivity Unlimited’.

Asserting the Covid-19 pandemic is a “challenge before humanity and India has to set an example” Bhagwat said: “We have to work as a team without discussing merits and demerits. We can do it later. We can overcome this challenge by working as a team and speeding up our work,” he added.

The RSS chief also cited England’s situation during World War II when everything seemed going against it to justify his assertion.

Bhagwat’s remarks, however, may give fresh ammunition to the opposition to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government as they have so far been extremely vocal about the ruling dispensation’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic amid the unprecedented surge in cases.
