Amid this chaos, Modi’s government faces immense criticism as it is accused of ignoring the oxygen crisis despite warnings. Indians are calling out Modi’s failure to have an effective emergency plan in place to deal with such oxygen shortages.
“Not one, not two-several warnings of an impending oxygen crisis were ignored by PM Modi,” said Goa Congress, which is a unit for the Indian National Congress in the State of Goa.

As death tolls peak, parks and open grounds in India are turning into mass cremation sites because crematoriums are now becoming unavailable due to the bulk of dead bodies received on a daily basis.
Heart-wrenching images of pyres burning in grounds flooded social media.
What BJP does best:
1. Divide people communally.
2. Surrender everything to corporates.
3. Use spin and PR to paint a rosy picture and cover up failures.If you put your faith on them to solve your problems, then the mistake is yours!#BJPDestroyedIndia #ModiAbandonedIndia pic.twitter.com/1dTUpp0Ag9

The situation is so dire that hospitals across India are buckling under the burden of Covid cases as they face shortages in supplies. More than two-thirds of hospitals had no vacant beds. They also issued notices to say that they have only a few hours of medical oxygen required to keeping Covid-19 patients alive.
Due to the shortage in oxygen supply, hospitals in India are refusing to admit patients and are asking them to go somewhere else. Some states in India were prepared for the oxygen shortage, however, many states, including Delhi, that do not have their oxygen plants, are relying on imports.
