    Every state was dealing with the Corona impact in their own way and the Centre miserably failed to give common directions to all the States in time as it was busy in toppling in the MP Government and re-modelling of Parliament annexe. Secondly all the movement of the Migrants / NRIs should have completed during the lockdown. Thirdly compulsory testing of NRIs at the point of boarding should have be done by the embassies. Instead directions were given to do Thali Dance and lighting Diyas....

    These people are not wearing masks. The ones who have it are wearing it to cover the neck, keeping their noses and mouth open.
    ...And they are blaming the failure of central government in handling Corona outbreak!!!

    The Congress netas have snuffed out budding, talented youths, who would have definitely revived the ailing, self destructive party, to its lost glory !!!! Raga, fate is similar to the last Moghul emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar !! The party is irrelevant and has since been consigned, into the pages of history !!!!!

    To all the guys who are asking 'Where is Congress and why are they not protesting' . Guys the younger leaders who could do this are not interested to burn their blood for Congress .They have huge aspirations and that cannot be met by the Cong party. So the dynamic young blood are looking elsewhere , some even in BJP minority morcha as well. So its ruled out , rest of the followers , like you said are only internet warriors. Kya Ukaadlega woh log ??

    There are many things to be questioned and also the general public citizens need to know whats happening. Not that blindly believe in what is being told. First of all need to think like human. have a common sense.
    Other than these issue what generally used a tool or a weapon to gain political benefits, there are lots of things to discuss.
    important thing which common people want is +Shelter +Food and a normal life.
    For this we need Education, develop agriculture, Housing project for the people in need, employment. create an evironment were we people help share and live life with a great joy and prosparity.

    Whether it was demonetisation, GST implementation or the national lockdown, the prime minister and his advisors for the third time in four years, Modi's knee-jerk decision-making has cost India dear.

    Now the entire nation is suffering the ill planned lock down that extended four time for more than two long months still India death rate is close to 10,000 mark and 15-20 lakh crores loss to the economy.

    PM Cares having no transparency is only interested in the Rajya Sabha elections for more seats buying more opposition members.

    Ideally a move and protest of this sort should have been initiated and driven by Congress. But alas, they are no where in the picture. More than the impact on the Center, this protest by CPI exposes the presence and the seriousness of Congress in the DK or Mangalore. You cannot expect RaGa tweet every day and his supporters sit at home . Every Cong worker should join and voice with RaGa. Only then can one expect revival of the party. Congress should look at this with an ounce of Shame!

    Let's be frank and agree one thing main cause of corona spread is because of people like this. Masks not work some are only for mouth and some are only for chin. Remember corona spreads through mouth and nose mainly cover those instead of tour chin

    Jossey Saldanha, Mumbai . At least CPI has the xxlls to get on the street and protest. What has Cong in DK done??? Internet sevaking since 2014, and then you say you cannot win elections. You cannot blame RaGa and expect him to do all the tweeting and bashing. Some ounce of guts is required by the grass root level workers as well. It was also obvious during the CAA protests, where the chelas appeared the next day on online forums shouting 'Azaaadi''!
