New Delhi: Less than two hours after Congress chief Rahul Gandhi accused the central authorities of undercounting the variety of deaths due to COVID-19 within the nation, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan hit again at him with a counter tweet.
In a scathing reply to Gandhi, Vardhan mentioned that doing politics over corpses was Congress’ fashion. He took a dig on the Congress chief for trusting a international publication greater than the federal government.
“Politics on corpses, INC Style! Although vultures are disappearing from timber, it appears their spirit has been absorbed by vultures of the earth. @RahulGandhi ji trusts #NewYork greater than #Delhi. One ought to study to play politics on corpses from the vultures of the earth,” Vardhan tweeted.
लाशों पर राजनीति, @INCIndia स्टाइल !
पेड़ों पर से गिद्ध भले ही लुप्त हो रहे हों, लेकिन लगता है उनकी ऊर्जा धरती के गिद्धों में समाहित हो रही है।@RahulGandhi जी को #Delhi से अधिक #NewYork पर भरोसा है।
लाशों पर राजनीति करना कोई धरती के गिद्धों से सीखे।@PMOIndia @BJP4India https://t.co/29D0yWU5wS
