So after Facebook, Twitter and Indian media, Modi propaganda bots have started bombarding HN as well !

For those of us not close to this topic, how do you assess the veracity of OP’s statements?

Recently created handle just to defend Modi government narrative, Using other religions (read Muslim) as scapegoat in defense. Just look at the pictures of large number of people being gathered in kumbh mela and Modi/BJP rallies and tell us in straight face that these are not super spreader events.

India is a huge and complex country. The virus was not waiting for Kumbh to spread for sure, as daily life in most Indian cities operates in super spreader mode.

From a newspaper report on Mumbai Locals [1]-

"Passengers on suburban local trains in Mumbai have increased since the services were resumed for the general public on February 1. Nearly 3.7 million passengers commute everyday by the local train network on the Central and the Western Railway."
