Yadav said that in the last 100 days, only about 123,000 people had been tested for the disease whereas the state government was claiming that 40 million people had been tested of whom 400,000 had tested positive.
Yadav asked how many ventilators did the state government have? He topped this with the slogan: Poochh raha hai Bihar; Kahan chhipe ho Nitish Kumar (all Bihar is asking: Nitish Kumar, where are you hiding?).
Kumar replied almost instantly,: “He’s asking where I’m hiding. Maybe he doesn’t know that there’s a lockdown in place. Everyone across the country is being told: stay at home. I am working round the clock, reviewing, analysing. We’re working right through the lockdown. How would it look if I were the one to impose a lockdown on people and would go gadding about all over the place myself.”
