COVID 19 - APPLAUD TAMIL NADU CHIEF MINISTER
With the expertise and knowledge level of the Tamil Nadu ministers being mediocre, Chief Minister appears to be largely taking the guidance from the bureaucrats and medical specialists. This is as it should be.
The ministers are giving problems , as they assemble a crowd around themselves and donate some material or other to poor people, posing for photograph. They are not following social distancing , as is evident from the photographs appearing in media.
The spread of COVID 19 in Tamil Nadu has increased significantly mainly due to those who attended the congregation in Delhi and then returned back to the state. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister is handling the situation without giving room for any communal tension in the state.
Whether he has the money or not, Chief Minister is somehow spending lot of money to give freebies to the poor people to buy peace with them and give them hope.
Obviously, Tamil Nadu state government’s finances are in an extremely poor shape and it is not clear how he would manage the situation in the coming months. He has to seek advice of experts and certainly not his ministers and cut the wasteful expenditures in all possible ways. He needs to have political courage to do this.
The opposition parties in Tamil Nadu are criticizing the state government for the sake of criticism and the Chief Minister is handling such criticisms with dignity, by ignoring them for all practical purposes.
