He said in a rally that “Corona Is Gone” and the lockdown is only imposed by the Government so that BJP cannot hold meetings and rallies.

“Corona chole gechhe (Coronavirus is gone). Didimoni (Mamata Banerjee) is just pretending and imposing lockdowns so that the BJP can’t organize meetings and rallies in the state. No one can stop us,” Dilip Ghosh, Bengal BJP chief, said at a rally in Dhaniakhali.

India is ranked number 2 in the world with cases count more than 45.5 lakh cases. West Bengal itself has close to 2 lakh infections and over 3,700 deaths.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday urged people not to take coronavirus lightly and follow basic rules of wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing until scientists developed a vaccine.

The member of his party is not able to follow the basic guidelines. As he addressed a crowded public meeting at a time other top leaders have switched to online rallies.

Twitter was full of sarcasm to his statement. Here are some of the reactions.
