The number of deaths and the number of patients is less in West Bengal compared to other states. The recovery rate is much higher. Dilip Ghosh and his party members are playing politics with the COVID-19 situation.”

They didn’t impose lockdown when it was necessary. They did all kinds of meaningless activities when it was important to impose lockdown. When the petrol-diesel prices were lower in the world, the prices were higher here. The price of potatoes is also going high. The government is monitoring the price of potatoes every day,” he further added.
