Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan and other BJP leaders on Wednesday hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after the latter accused the Government of India of under-reporting COVID-19 casualties. Sharing a screengrab from a New York Times report, the Congress MP accused the Centre of lying about the relevant data.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, India s death toll has reached record highs in recent weeks. But even as the list of fatalities grows longer, many accuse states of under-reporting their case tally and death toll. While various accounts have emerged, some contend that the death toll is actually 10 times more than what is being reported.
