The country may be hitting record spikes in coronavirus cases and deaths, but for Bengal BJP chief "corona is gone". Speaking at a rally in Dhaniakhali on Thursday, BJP Bengal chief Dilip Ghosh claimed that Coronavirus is gone and the restrictions by the govt are only to prevent BJP rallies. "Didi is just pretending and imposing lockdowns so that the BJP can't organise meetings and rallies in the state," Ghosh claimed. His comments came on a day when PM Modi asked people to not take the Covid threat lightly and follow rules of wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing until scientists developed a vaccine.
