Home Minister Amit Shah , Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Union Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Tested Covid-19 positive in just 3 days.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah was present in a Cabinet Meeting on Wednesday, which was attended by all top ministers, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, defence minister Rajnath Singh, and finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman.  All safety norms, including social distancing, were followed at the crucial meet, where the National Education Policy was approved.

Union Minister Amit Shah took to twitter to aware everyone about his health. He is asymptomatic and hence went for normal checkups to hospital where he found that he is Covid-19 positive.

On Sunday afternoon, Mr Shah tweeted: “On getting the initial symptoms of coronavirus, I got the test done and the report came back positive. My health is fine, but I am being admitted to the hospital on the advice of doctors. I request that all of you who have come in contact with me in the last few days, please isolate yourself and get your inquiry done,” Mr Shah’s tweet in Hindi roughly said.

कोरोना के शुरूआती लक्षण दिखने पर मैंने टेस्ट करवाया और रिपोर्ट पॉजिटिव आई है। मेरी तबीयत ठीक है परन्तु डॉक्टर्स की सलाह पर अस्पताल में भर्ती हो रहा हूँ। मेरा अनुरोध है कि आप में से जो भी लोग गत कुछ दिनों में मेरे संपर्क में आयें हैं, कृपया स्वयं को आइसोलेट कर अपनी जाँच करवाएं।

Rahul Gandhi has attacked the government over the number of increasing cases of covid-19 in India and Chinese aggression in Ladakh. He says he kept warning the government but it continues to rubbish his warning. He said even though he kept warning the government on COVID-19, “disaster” has followed.

Andhra Pradesh topped southern States in daily numbers for the second day on Thursday with approximately 8,000 COVID-19 cases . Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala also reported record single day tallies with the aggregate of the four breaching the 20,000 marks.

As the coronavirus cases are increasing rapidly in nation, the Center has asked all states to stay away from organizing large gatherings, practice social distancing and webcast the Independence Day events. The Home Ministry Rajnath singh said Covid warriors like doctors, health and sanitation workers should be invited in the ceremony as appreciation of their service of battling the pandemic. It said some people who have recovered from the infection might also be invited.

It was just clear after Monday that Sachin Pilot is leaving his sixteen years of career in Congress. After the 48th hour of crisis, Randeep Singh Surjewala requested Pilot and other rebelling ministers to come and show their strength in the emergency meeting hosted by chief minister Ashok Gehlot. It was clear that Pilot will not show up as Surjewala was talking about the differences in between the party. He added that Pilot is “always in their hearts” and will be welcomed whenever he needs. “Even till this morning, right before the Congress legislature party meeting began, we kept talking to him. All of us spoke to him – his well wishers within and outside the party, but he wouldn’t listen,’’ said the leader. The story took a turn in the early morning of Tuesday when Gehlot government axed Pilot from the seat of deputy chief minister.

Many stories are coming up cause of this decision. The foremost is that pilot gave three demands to the party which can make him stay. The first demand was that he wanted to be the chief ministerial face in upcoming elections of 2022. Secondly, he wanted tourism minister Vishwendra Singh and all other legislators who rebelled with him would be rewarded with important bodies of the party. The final demand was to remove Avinash Pande, general secretary and Rajasthan Congress in-charge. He feared him as Pande was Gehlot’s mouthpiece.

When asked from Avinash Pande about sacking of Pilot and other ministers, he said“Bilkul sahi keh rahe hai Sachin Pilot, janta ne jinko chuna hai unki jeet hai. Bhagwan unnko sadbudhi de (Sachin Pilot is right. Those elected by the people have won today. May lord grant him some good sense,”

Despite this crisis, Pilot is not losing his cool. Pilot tweeted,” satay ko pareshaan kiya ja sakta hai, paraajit nahi’(truth can be disturbed  but never be defeated).

सत्य को परेशान किया जा सकता है पराजित नहीं।
