In her opening remark in the CWC meeting, Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi said the Covid-19 situation has become even more catastrophic and alleged that wilful patronage of super-spreader events were allowed for partisan gains and the government has priority like the Central Vista.

"Governance failures have become even more stark and scientific advice has been wilfully ignored and the country is paying a horrendous price for the Modi government's neglect of the pandemic, indeed its wilful patronage of super-spreader events that were allowed for partisan gains," Sonia Gandhi alleged while indicating the Kumbh was allowed and Prime Minister held big rallies during the pandemic.
