Tavleen Singh writes: Enough electioneering, Prime Minister

Has the Prime Minister developed a nostalgic desire to become a regional leader again? I ask the question seriously. There seems no other possible reason why he spends so much time during election season campaigning so zealously in provincial, and even municipal, elections. It was because of this passion for electioneering that he failed to notice the reprehensible mishandling of the Delta wave last year. He was too busy campaigning in West Bengal to notice. It was only when bodies started floating down the Ganga and long queues formed outside crematoriums, that he paid personal attention to grave mistakes made by his vaccination task force. It was because he took charge that a catastrophe was averted.
