Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said in an interview with the media that at present there is no need to put a hasty lockdown in India. Amit Shah said that the situation with complete lockdown has not yet arisen in the country. "Like last year, can the lockdown control covid and it is needed now?", Amit Shah said in response to this question, discussing the current conditions of covid in India with several teams of experts. The purpose of the lockdown last year was different. We were planning for infrastructure and treatment at that time. We wanted to prepare a plan to fight against Corona. We had no medicine or vaccine. But now the situation is different. Nevertheless, we are discussing with CM. Whatever the consensus, we will proceed accordingly. But at present, the situation is not visible in the country like putting a lockdown on the pits'.'
Coronavirus growing among election rallies and campaigning? In response to this question, Amit Shah said, "See what elections are going on in Maharashtra right now, but 60 thousand cases are coming out there every day." Here (West Bengal) there are 4 thousand cases. I am also kind to Maharashtra. And for whom (West Bengal) is also compassionate. It is not right to associate covid with the election. In the states where elections were held, there are not many cases. Where elections were not held, there have been more increases. Now, what will you say about this? ”People come to your election rallies and roadshows without a mask? On this, Amit Shah said that all people should be cautious during the covid period. I also follow the Corona guidelines. Elections are an important part of democracy. When elections are announced, we have no choice".
You are the home minister of the country. Last time, when covid grew in Delhi, you worked with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, what are you doing this time? Amit Shah said, "The Prime Minister of this country (Narendra Modi) has taken three-four decisions. To accelerate vaccination, foreign vaccines have been permitted. Corona vaccines have been approved for use in the US, the UK, the European Union and Japan, to allow rapid approval here. Steps have been taken to increase vaccine production. We are taking steps to improve the facilities. This epidemic (by its nature) spreads rapidly. The government is ready to fight against it on every front. We are sending ventilators, new covid-19 hospitals are being set up.
