None is bothered about coronavirus spread

There are signs of a second corona wave coming from the growing Corona infection in the country. The battle against Corona is slowing down with the slogan 'Two yards distance-mask essential'. Seeing the careless people in the crowd and election rallies in the market, it seems that we have not learned any lesson from the situation. Corona infection is not going to stop by increasing the penalty on people wearing masks, but the administration needs to act quickly on people without masks.

At the same time, the general public also needs to take precaution in festivals, weddings, election programs. Lock down again in many countries, including Israel, at the same time experts warned about the corona infection that the corona is about to spread in the winter, but we seem to have won the war against the corona due to lower corona figures.

In such a situation, there is a need to tighten the people who are negligent towards Corona.

If the infection increases in communities, the damage will be even greater. Although it seems that the fight against Corona is going to be difficult, the government should focus on the basic things like checking Corona infection and raising beds in hospitals. While forgetting politics, the parties and the opposition need to fight a common battle.

It is shocking to see all the political parties are organizing and encouraging huge gatherings, ,organising road shows for the sake of votes and power in GHMC elections forgetting all the prescribed norms of Covid19 rules and regulations and putting the general people into risk and creating traffic jams.

Whom are we to blame? Norms are only for common people not for the political parties .Who will take action? We assume that there will not be any rules and regulations for the political parties .As the second wave has been witnessed in few states ,hope the leaders will understand the gravity of the situation.

The way people took the dip in Tungabhadra Pushkarams indicate the scant concern they have about their own health. Now that, they cannot blame anyone if they get infected. It is as if they are inviting the second wave of Covid with open arms. This type of self-abnegation will result in deleterious consequences to the society in which they move with carefree abandon.

Boycott uncouth netas

This refers to the editorial to reign in foulmouthed politicos in our midst, who are getting away by uttering sheer rubbish, and assume it to be their gift of the gab – by the I&B Ministry which is forming rules and regulations for Over the Top (OTT) platforms in an effort to help sanitise social media platforms from such uncouth and unparliamentary language users, making room in social medias like YouTube and Facebook.

The political worthies, with their support groups and admirers have come to assume that whatever they say is fair that is meant to be understood by anybody from any political and social cross-section in the country.

This is also to cover up their poor and inadequate educational and social background, while they have requisite time and opportunity to acquire new and decent vocabulary to enhance and improve their views and method of presentation without lowering themselves to indecent depths, to be equated to ruffians, and any other sheep or cattle grazers, with little or no erudition.

Such political heavyweights are not averse to show their skills in Parliament and Assembly, by assuming the role of rebels for the common man's cause, but these individuals are ending up as laughing stock, to be unable to mix in a decent and intellectual society. It is surely time to alter this trend.

TRS is also guilty

KTR might be right in saying that the BJP rakes up Hindu-Muslim communal hatred during elections but it is noteworthy TRS achieved state hood and also won several elections in the past by provoking "Andhra" sentiment by playing "outsider", "settler" cards.

It is not a good tradition. Political parties win elections by exposing caste, religion, language and more such sensitive matters instead of focusing on education, health, employment and other real issues of people.
