Instead of all self praise and putting the guard down too quick, govt had an year of time and multiple warnings to ramp up everything which they all ignored. This is the result of all the ministers wasting their time in campaigns and rallies rather than monitoring the deadly pandemic.

PM instead of being responsible person personally went in for campaigns.
Also look at how they are handling the criticism by passing laws against sharing of criticism on social media and also by deleting the content on those sites.
