People of Maharashtra are suffering for a mistake they didn’t make and will continue to suffer if Uddhav Thackeray govt lets the Coronavirus spread

Editor’s Note: The article was written by a BJP spokesperson of party’s Maharashtra unit and it contained criticism of the current state government’s handling of the situation arising in wake of Coronavirus pandemic. The article was aimed at alerting the state administration to improve some aspects, lest the situation worsens. However, Devendra Fadnavis, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra and a senior leader of BJP advised the author to forget criticism for the time being and work together with the government to take on this unprecedented challenge of Coronavirus. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shown the way how political differences can be set aside in time of this national crisis, and the same can be done by every BJP supporter. As a result, the author requested to withdraw the article, and OpIndia has accepted the request.
