For Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the unkindest cut may have come not from the international media but from his former ally Shiv Sena. The Sena has said India has survived because of the infrastructure built in the past 70 years by previous Prime Ministers, including Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Manmohan Singh. “Small countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Nepal are helping India today because the ferociously rising Covid-19 cases here is becoming a threat to the entire world. To put it bluntly, India has survived because of the system built by Nehru-Gandhi (regimes). Otherwise, this corona(virus) wave would have destroyed the lives of 125 crore people,” an editorial in Sena mouthpiece Saamna said on Saturday.
