Poor and Non Focussed Governance resulting in Increasing the Numbers of Corona Patients

Let me start by congratulating the Delhi Government – efforts of the Delhi govt (with the assistance of the Federal govt) have finally paid off, thereby decreasing the growth rate of Covid infection in the capital (from almost 4k per day to 1500 per day).

 

On the other hand, in some other states of our country like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Telangana etc, the Covid growth rate curve is becoming steeper with every passing day. I believe that this is largely because of the non-focussed and callous attitude of the state governments here. These local governments are more focussed on religious and political issues rather than looking at the big picture and taking measures to curb the spread of infection and putting in all their energy in improving the health service structure for safeguarding the citizens.

 

Unfortunately, the infection numbers are rapidly increasing in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Though the Bihar govt has imposed a 10-day lockdown finishing in a day or two to control the situation, the Uttar Pradesh govt has come up with only a complete weekend and certain districts limited police stations  lockdown policy and that in my opinion is not going to serve the purpose. What is more disturbing is that instead of devoting time and coming up with better policies to safeguard the citizens of Uttar Pradesh, the govt here is gearing itself for the construction of Ram Mandir from  5^th  August 2020 depending on the availability of our Prime minister for  laying the foundation by Silver stone, which itself an expensive affair under the present economic stress.

 

We have been continuously getting reports from different sources that the situation will worsen in the coming days and that the infection numbers will be majorly from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Despite all these alarms, the testing capacity in these states is very low and due to poor governance, non-aligned priorities and unorganized structure, nothing is being done to improve the situation.

All this makes me wonder that rather than interfering and wasting time in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh political matters and upcoming West Bengal , Bihar and Madhya Pradesh elections, why the federal government is not monitoring/interfering and guiding these state governments to control the situation. Is politics really more important than the lives and safety of millions of people?
