Puducherry Chief Minister V
Modi's message, urging people to light candle or earthern lamps on April 5 to display India's collective resolve to defeat coronavirus evoked sharp reactions from the opposition Congress, which dubbed it as "just a feel-good moment curated by India's photo-op Prime Minister."
Criticising Modi, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor tweeted, "listened to the Pradhan Showman. Nothing about how to ease people's pain, their burdens, their financial anxieties. No vision of the future or sharing the issues he is weighing in deciding about the post-lockdown. Just a feel-good moment curated by India's Photo-Op PrimeMinister!"
Narayanasamy, in a message to mediapersons, said the Prime Minister had been insisting on social distancing to stem the spread of coronavirus, focussing on 'staying home."
