India is reporting a huge surge in Covid-19 cases daily and due to this hospitals are overwhelmed by patients. On one side BJP is talking about social distancing and no gathering while on the other hand Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay on Tuesday participated in a massive roadshow to campaign for municipal polls in Warangal. Visuals from the event show countless individuals gathering in close proximity with not much concern for the ongoing pandemic. Some of these images were later deleted by the party’s official social media handles.
While the photos and videos from the rally that still remain on the BJP Telangana page seem to suggest that most attendees had been masked, the sheer volume and their close proximity to each other has alarmed many on social media. We feel compelled to mention here that countless attendees, including the campaigning politicians, sported masks that covered only their chins or at best their mouths. Others still rode atop vehicles with no covering whatsoever.
