Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed the Narendra Modi-led Central government over the worryingly rising cases of black fungus or mucormycosis across the country.
Hitting at Prime Minister Modi for cases of mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients, Gandhi said not only vaccines but there is also a “huge shortage” of medicine .
In a tweet in Hindi, Gandhi said, “It is only in India that there is an epidemic of black fungus along with the COVID pandemic due to the inefficiency of Modi system. There is a shortage of vaccines as well as of medicines. And to deal with this, the Prime Minister will be telling people to clap and clang utensils.”
Several cases of black fungus have been reported throughout the nation leading to many states having declared it an epidemic. States including Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Karnataka, and Assam have declared it a notifiable disease under the Epidemic Diseases Act 1897.
