Covid-19, GST will be future Harvard case studies on failure, Rahul’s dig at govt

New Delhi, July 6

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday targeted the government over rising coronavirus cases, saying future Harvard Business School case studies on failure would include the government's handling of Covid-19.

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the former Congress chief also tweeted a clip which included portions from the PM's addresses to the nation on the Covid-19 crisis, including his remarks that the Mahabharata war was won in 18 days and the war against coronavirus would take 21 days.

The clip also showed a graph of rising coronavirus cases, making India the third worst-hit nation in terms of infection count.

"Future HBS case studies on failure: 1. Covid19. 2. Demonetisation.3. GST implementation," Gandhi tweeted along with the clip.

Gandhi's attack on the government came a day after India went past Russia to become the third worst-hit nation by the Covid-19 pandemic. Only the US and Brazil are ahead of India in terms of total coronavirus infections. PTI
