Amid a massive surge in covid cases in Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis has extended his support to lockdown.
“Lockdown or a partial lockdown is okay. We will support the government, but it should also focus on providing financial assistance to the poor and the middle class,” Fadnavis said.
Citing experts, Fadnavis said a new and more infectious strain of coronavirus affects the lungs of patients fast.
“Awareness should be created about the nature of the precautions that need to be taken by the people because of the new strain of the virus. Why Maharashtra is the worst affected?” he asked.
Talking about the “new strain”, the former chief minister said that initially no symptoms are seen in the infected people, but then the infection spreads fast. Fadnavis also said the Centre had helped all states, including Maharashtra, in tackling the pandemic.
“At the same time, the state government should stop blaming the Centre for its failures and stop playing politics on this issue,” he said.
Fadnavis said workers of the BJP will help the people in registration of vaccination.
